Strangely enough, what's been inspiring me this morning is Salford's finest..... John Cooper Clarke Someone who I've listened to since I was about 14, seen live a few times (including a spectacualr no-show at Battersea last year). In fact that was another one of the things that got me back into writing. they held a performance-poetry-in-the-style-of-John-Cooper-Clarke competition instead, judged by Rosie Lugosi, and I was in the top three, despite not having written for years.......and had to perform it at the Battersea Arts Centre complete with ersatz Mancunian accent......Thanks John! I owe you one!
