A charming and humorous personality. Decades ago, as a fan of his early TV appearances, I went to see him ‘in concert’, though it turned out his name was the lure for an early (and unbilled) Joy Division gig. He only performed for around 15 to 20 minutes. The band were on for over an hour. I suppose I got to see them in their prime, even if it was accidentally. The audience felt a bit short changed at the end, I certainly did.
I met him at an airport about 13 years ago and helped him locate his flight. What a lovely and humble guy. I am still honoured to have spoke with him and will always remember our brief conversation. An amazing talent and one of the great modern poets of our time.
Picked him up in a cab in Liverpool... took him to hope st hotel...had a quick chat with him told him if he could get me interested in poetry which he did... he's a good man... because I would have said you were mad... so good on him...and he gave me a tip so top man
I had a long , drunken chat with him once, after meeting him at a party. He was so easy to talk to, totally not up himself, with a dry wit & an interest in anything & everything. Simply a great bloke.
III manors a brilliant amazing but dark film I found him in apart from that 8 out of 10 cats again amazing I did get to see him in Dublin a few years ago great gig
On the point about does Dr JCC’S poetry go down differently in different countries, over 20 years ago I recited ‘I Married a Monster From Outer Space’ to some teenagers in Gdansk Poland (I was doing a Shakespeare project with them) thinking it would be a laugh, but after the final line ‘I remember the monster from outer space’ there was silence only broken when a girl said, ‘The poem is beautiful!’
This man is a 'true' national treasure.
His literature always makes me smile & laugh .
Love you John . X
I got the pleasure of paying with him on stage supporting the Fall in 2000. Amazing! One of my highlights for sure. I love this bloke.

Wonderful guy, met just once, he had no need to speak to me, but glad he did.😊

Fabulous and unique
Simply love this guy. 🥰
I like the way he keeps saying "Pardon?" to the woman. Like when people say sorry to get you to repeat yourself.
You're amongst friends - couldn't have put it better myself !!!!
Thankyou Doctor
Existentially yours.....
81' ....44 years I've had the pleasure 😊
John makes me happy,love the guy.
I’d like to meet John have some whiskey and wine .. and re live those heady 70s days of punk n innocence of abandonment 🌹
The man is a LEGEND.😊
Love John. Showing the country that poetry doesn't have to be stuck up.
75, he's looking good. Always liked him. Good bloke.

I took him and Johnny Green back to their hotel after a gig a few years ago. Top blokes the both of them
From the thumbnail I thought it was Geddy Lee from Rush... Then I heard him speak. 😂
I thought it was the mother in Law

i used to watch him in small clubs great times not keen on big venues but good luck john
He supported Pauline Murray at the Odeon in Birmingham in 1980 that way a big venue he’s still class
He had some of her band playing on his early albums
Saw him at the MAC roughly same time.
Always astounded by the longevity of many people who took a lot of opiates.
Thanks
Never looked at it like that. I think I'll get on the opiates so asap. Thanks.👌
JCC. Who doesn't love this man?
Me.
We need to think what kind of world we are going to leave for John and Keith Richard’s..
Legend.
He's great and I must read his autobiography.
I have read it twice, it is superb
@@chasphilpotts1201 It'll be next on my list.
a legend
You have to love JCC , he's one of ,if not , our best living poet.
🎉
Sally's lovely. John cooper Clarke lives in Colchester Essex very nice bloke 😊
JCC is more real than his interviewers...and not just these ones. I hope he's got another 30 years left!
I thought he early died last year. I remember hearing something on 6 music about him dying then they played 'I Wanna be Yours'. Maybe I mis heard.
He always says he's from Essex now 🤔
Colchester...
Luck’s for amateurs….great line.
Fame is a curse with no redeeming features. Alan Ginsberg once said.
top bloke, what awful questions lol
Thank god for just for men 😂
Pure class JCC ,funny n real ,unlike alot arnd today
But I do wish The Invisible Girls would reform. Beasley Street isn't the same without the band.
Nothing lah-de-dah
Shame it's so near the City ground.
He was over the moon that his poem 'Chickentown' was used in The Sopranos.
I know a few people at the time thought he was some sort of up and coming grime artist lol
