Performance poet John Cooper Clarke has given fans a preview of his newest work.

The so-called bard of Salford chose BBC North West Tonight as the platform for the premiere of his latest poem, Look In Any Junkyard.

Dr Cooper Clarke burst onto the punk scene in the 1970s and shared a producer with Joy Division.

The 75-year-old is set to take to the stage at Manchester’s Co-Op Live in March, becoming the first poet to headline at an arena.
