- Paul Morley traces the life and works of Manchester punk poet John Cooper Clarke.
Paul looks back at the punk movement in the mid 1970s, its DIY ethic and popular appeal and how Cooper Clarke, as the poet of the people, fit into the scene.
Through exclusive new interviews with Cooper Clarke, Paul delves into the most significant moments of his life and career, from his first job as a lab technician at Salford University to touring with some of the world's most famous punk bands, his domestic partnership and shared heroin addiction with Nico, the use of one of his songs in The Sopranos, his signing to the same label as Bob Dylan and his appearance in a Sugar Puffs advert.
Cooper Clarke has continued to tour and write new work for 30 years and despite being exasperated by the 1980s' flamboyant reaction to punk's DIY ethic, his influence today should not be underestimated. Jarvis Cocker, Noel Gallagher, Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys, Lily Allen and Kate Nash have all cited Clarke as an influence, as his distinctive style continues to pervade popular music.
Contributors include Mark E Smith, Pete Shelly, Kate Nash, Phill Jupitus and Clarke himself.
An All Out production for BBC Radio 4.
Can't get enough of JCC. The World's Greatest Living Salfordian.
Not keen on Paul Morley or Poetry but love JCC. Incredibly hip to popular culture and fantastic sense of a bon mot. His personality is 100%. Top bloke.
He is very funny..I met him once..Not while working.. He was a really nice fella...My little girl fell over and he picked her up n stopped her crying..Pulled a funny face n she laughed a lot...Whatever think of his work he was very genuine decent bloke that day at least....I like his work too n his interviews are better even...For what it's worth...She used to see him on a cereal advert and remembered him every time...That man on etc etc..Every time....1983 I think.....
‘Slum’ school to honorary doctorate inspired by a certain Mr Malone.
My hackles naturally rise when I hear the words "Slum school" spoken in that cut-glass BBC accent....
But then I think about the primary school I went to in Oldham back in the 70s.....And yeah, 'slum' pretty much sums it up! \🙄/
I think I'll stick with the likes of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, AE Housman and Betjeman!!!

Gladly, you miserable working class moron!
Mike Fuller I hope 2 years later you've moved on from being an insufferable archetype of bourgeois monotony.
But his school "had its own corridor"!
What a pretentious arse
But,
don't they smell kindof funny to be sticking with nowadays?
Maybe some extra Lenor each wash-cycle would help... 👍
He *must* be good;
some twonk with a BBC accent has now told us so...
