Byron Vincent will perform at The Big Chill festival 2008 A-Z line up | Ticket infoByron Vincent - Biography
Slam champion Byron Vincent was dragged up on some of the countries toughest council estates. His flowery name and love of language ensured that his journey was a challenging one. Never a defeatist he fought back with poetry. This was a terrible strategy and he regularly got his head kicked in.
With poems such as 'Kevin’s an ‘erbert' and 'Never Buy Drugs at a Festival' amongst his repertoire Byron’s subversive brand of barking doggerel has taken the UK poetry scene by storm and kicked it until it’s handed over it’s wallet.
“Byron Vincent was born to be a poet. A consummate performer, achingly funny, He’s the brightest new star on the block. Heidi Stephenson - Apples and snakes.
“Like a bad ass version of Roger McGough” “He’s clever, witty, a cut above your average chav” Rosemary Dun, Big Mouth poetry.
“Looks and sounds like he could easily of stumbled off an Artic Monkeys tour bus” Bristol Evening Post”
