When i was a child at school everyone used to rave about 'Russians in the DHSS',it was on a punk compilation tape we all bought.Thanks to youtube i have rediscovered what a talented guy this fella is.

Keep up the good work, don't know how I didn't think of looking you up on KZbin before. We used to walk to school togerher from Victoria Road, haven't seen you since about 1971 (my fault, I moved to Britanny). I've become allergique to the UK but you are the only person worthwhile crossing the channel for. Maybe next year.....

I was in HMP ford around 15 year ago and he came in and done a thing for the prisoners , his wife was a teacher there and very nice lady . Didnt agree with his politics then and still dont now but thank you for taking the time out to relieve some of us from the mundane prison life for a couple of hours.

Great to see this, just wish it was longer and more widely known. Been listening to and watching John perform since 4 October 1988 in Camden and caught him again in Melbourne when he came South as well as Camden few years ago - always worth catching him live.

Good to be remembered, or should that be good being memorable? :D Definitely not intended to suggest we should worry about you as I have seen your pleasure in doing what you do and totally agree, that is the way work should be. Just want more people to share in that pleasure. Look forward to seeing you next year and catching up for a pint. ;)

Saw Atilla at the Kettle And Wink in St Ives about ten years ago among a crowd of about 30 people. I had no idea who he was at the time but I laughed my arse off and from that gig was inspired to lyricism/reduced to poetry myself.

Hello, I am searching for one song (and also the guitar tabs) of attila the stockbroker, but I do not know the name. It starts with: "YOU NEVER THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD COME TO THIS... THEY TOOK YOUR FREEDOM NOW THEY WANT YOUR LIFE..." Could anybody tell me which song of attila this is? I searched on KZbin, but I haven't found it.

A really moving poem he reads at the end. I'll have to go and see him next time he's in the area. He occasionally appears but I've always given it a miss because I thought he would just be a whining leftie with crap poems. But it looks from this like what he says is true and he is a good poet and entertainer.

Good doc. Though you weren't really fair on what hip hop can be and was originally. You can take synth pop but I'm not even that angry at them. You were all groundbreaking and sticking fingers up and breaking boundaries in your own ways. And this is cheesy in a righteous way. Even though I am angry at a lot of things. Good advice on publishing. But your status, who you are, helps the copies shift. I'm straddling worlds like a boss. But most of the poetry world I know acknowledges you and similar poets - at least to my face. Lol.
