Watch: Olaf interviews John Cooper Clarke

HP's writer-at-large caught up with the punk poet in Galway.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 21 Nov 2011

Captured on film by Leon Butler, below you will find Olaf Tyaransen's recent chat with John Cooper Clarke, who has just wrapped up a short stop in Ireland (which included a performance in the Button Factory).

Something of a rematch, Olaf and Cooper Clarke go back some time – a particularly memorable encounter is included in Tyaransen's latest book, Selected Recordings 2000-2010.

Selected Recordings is now available in the iTunes Bookstore and via Amazon for Kindle, becoming the first book under the Hot Press imprint to make its way onto the e-reader. To purchase Selected Recordings, click here.
