Dr John Cooper Clarke joins the Rockonteurs with Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt

This week performance poet John Cooper Clarke joins Gary and Guy to talk about his career, from his discovery of the powers of poetry at school to his status today as something of a national treasure. Always a fan of music, and galvanised by the Beatles and The Stones, he tried his hand playing bass in a band, but soon found he wanted to work with words, and began writing and performing his own poetry. In this episode he discusses Dylan, Ronnie Wood as a style icon and how being covered by the Arctic Monkeys has brought his work to the attention of billions.

John is touring the UK in October and November 2026 - find out more at linktr.ee/johncooperclarke
