Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Both Mark Lamarr and Sean Hughes, with whom he appeared on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, also started their careers as performance poets. He toured the student scene of colleges, universities and student unions supporting bands such as Billy Bragg, The Style Council and The Housemartins. He supported Billy Bragg once more on the Labour Party sponsored Red Wedge tour in 1985: "In the early 80s, I got involved with Red Wedge, in which Neil Kinnock got various bands to stage concerts for Labour. The reason I got involved was 20% because I believed in the cause, 30% because I loved Billy Bragg, and 50% because I wanted to meet Paul Weller". After Red Wedge, he found it difficult to get other bookings due to the decline of political poetry as a mainstream art. He joined indie record label "Go! Discs" as a runner, which had signed Billy Bragg and other bands such as The Housemartins. Bragg has since said: "We ended up managing to get him a job at Go! Discs, which was brilliant.
