See Dr John Cooper Clarke live at The Helix on Sunday, 03 September 2023 with special guest, Mike Garry.

Dr. John Cooper Clarke shot to prominence in the 1970s as the original ‘people’s poet’ and he became one of the most prolific artists of the Punk years.

He frequently appears on 8 out of 10 Cats, Would I Lie To You, Pointless Celebs and Have I Got News For You and his BBC 6 Music shows have endeared him to a whole new audience.

His 2019 autobiography, named after his most famous poem I Wanna Be Yours goes into fascinating detail about his early life in Manchester leading up to punksuperstardom, drug addiction and his comeback as major poet.
