entry picture

Fat Northerner Records is running a new project inspired by the work of John Cooper Clarke. They are looking for musicians and spoken word artists to re-work John Cooper Clarke’s poetry and music.

John Cooper Clarke (born 25 January 1949) is an English performance poet from Salford , Greater Manchester; he is often described as a punk poet, having initially achieved recognition in the late 1970s during the flourishing punk movement. His recorded output has mainly centered around musical backing from The Invisible Girls, which featured Martin Hannett, Pete Shelley, Bill Nelson, Paul Burgess and Steve Hopkins. He is fairly famous as a poet in England and 'Ten Years In An Open-Necked Shirt' remains his most popular and successful published work.

The project will involve musicians making music in all genres, from hip-hop to folk to rock. If you would like to get involved, please contact Alex at Fat Northerner Records ?" alex@fatnortherner.com, explaining the song/poem you would re-work and how you might do it. Collaborative projects between spoken word artists/comedians and bands are encouraged.
