Autorenporträt
Keiron Higgins is a Poet (and self-proclaimed "Punk With a Northern Soul") from the aisle of Halifax, West Yorkshire. Coming from a creative background which over the years has seen him in his hometown of Halifax be a former DJ, music producer and radio presenter, Keiron started doing spoken word as a secondary outlet to music production in 2013 after seeing the likes of close friend and fellow punk poet Cayn White over the years, and being spurned on by attending his ever first spoken word night in 2013. His poems usually told at a rapid pace (previously known as been "Halifax's Lyrical Machine Gun)" usually contain themes about the love of his ever-growing vinyl collection, outlooks of life and general humorous outlooks of current world events. During in his 4-5 years of performing his prolific CV has seen him be a supporting poet for the likes of Nick Toczek, Henry Normal, Attila The Stockbroker, Jeffrey Lewis and ex. Crass member Steve Ignorant. He is a regular at open mic nights across Halifax is often welcomed with praise and respect from his peers and headlining acts. With popularity growing and encouragement from friends and family in 2017 he published his first collection "Rebel Without A Prose:The Writings Of A Working Class Fake. "Keiron's poetry is as sharp as his dress sense. Staccato rhythms that penetrate and empower. Pure punk" -Toria Garbutt "Northern chat - Keiron Higgins says it like it is. Halifax born and bred. Always smartly dressed, with attention to detail, he observes the crowd. His love for vinyl is close to his heart. And his passion for words is his daily reward."- Fiona Love "While his words truly come to life when you see him in person, they do not lose their charm and message when written down and read. "- Crossroads Today "You do your town proud"- John Hegley
