The late Tony Wilson once told me, "I'm not the one who will have his life turned into legend, in the way that happened to Baudelaire, Verlaine and Rimbaud. It won't be me. It will be JohnCooperClarke." "Bloody hell," says the poet. That conversation took place 20 years ago, I tell him – when Wilson was still running the Haçienda; years before...
Some more of The Baird Of Salford,this time from Glastonbury back in 1981. I only ever saw JJC the once and that was a year later than this one down at the Elephant Fayre festival in Cornwall supporting Siouxsie. Like alot of the music I downloaded years ago,this ones only 128 bitrate. 16 tracks and 32mb but classic stuff. Remember to leave no gaps if your burning this to CD! My computer problems persist...
Theres no doubt about it.....JohnCooperClarke is a legend and the absolute king of the spoken word. The original Punk Rock poet and bloody funny with it too. So when you've finally downloaded these files from the "dreaded" Rapidshare (I had to get an account because of the amount of films I'm still downloading) enjoy this 1 hour and 15 minutes of great fun. Plenty of...
... Wedding Present and Dave Gedge to the feast. Eclectic, in a narrow sort of a way. For some reason JohnCooperClarke comes to mind, but that could be the suit.

But he wasn’t going it alone. First, he set about assembling his backing band The Makers – a talented crew of Sheffield musicians. Next, an array of eager collaborators – the likes of Alex Turner, Bromheads Jacket’s Tim Hampton and his hero, punk poet JohnCooperClarke – were sought and a clutch of demos recorded with producer Al Smyth.
johncooperclarke strikes a ridiculously cool pose, 1977. inner sleeve, " suspended sentence " ep. TOSH 103. This, as the BBC was once quick to retort, is little more than a lachrymose repeat. JohnCooperClarke first released an EP on the Manchester based label Rabid Records in 1977, backed by a coterie of musicians named the Curious Yellows . Produced...
... could easily get a lot of rather disappointed visitors to their website. Either the band are big JohnCooperClarke fans or long coated perverts. Or maybe they're just innocents abroad who thought Reader's Wives sounded like a cool name. As if to add insult to injury they've only gone and called their new ep 'Secrecy & Sex', out now, and included tracks like 'Sexually Attracted...
