PUNK poet extraordinaire John Cooper Clarke is making his debut at the Junction in Cambridge next month and The Hunts Post has two pairs of tickets to give away to see the show.
The performer, known as The Bard of Salford, made his name as the support act for punk bands like the Sex Pistols, the Buzzcocks and Siouxsie and the Banchees in the 1970’s.
His trademark is a combination of biting, satirical and very funny verse served up with rapid-fire, quick delivery which has seen him gain an army of fans and headline gigs across the country.
Described in The Telegraph as “the godfather of British performance poetry” Clarke has come to be recognised as one of England’s most important poets and performers.
