TIM CLARE is an author, performance poet and journalist. In 2005 he presented the Channel 4 series 'How To Get A Book Deal'; since then he has continued to wow, baffle and appall festival circuit audiences with poems featuring middle class girls, suicidal corgis, and William Blake's drunken quest for a kebab.
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.
One of The Times Top Ten Literary Stars of 2008, DOCKERS MC (Reading Only), has already got herself known in the music world through supporting the likes of Kate Nash and Laura Marling. A rare talent and a strident female voice, she is now the proud possessor of a book deal with Harper Collins.
