Spoz

Bio:

Spoz is not my real name. It's actually Giovanni Esposito... 'Spoz' being the bit between the 'E' and the 'ito' (kind of). I'm a sort of poet. The sort, in fact, that has been published, recorded, been on the telly and the radio, won awards, is a member of the renowned 'New October Poets', taken part in so many festivals, I've lost count and even been commissioned by the BBC. The sort of poet that isn't quite everybody's cup of tea, though, could be yours... "No flowery language here, I laughed out loud and so did my eleven year old daughter" - Ryan's Gig Guide ... "The only poet I know who rhymed 'Hound of the Baskervilles' with 'pound and a flask of pills' and made it make sense" - Birmingham Post ...... A singer, songwriter, playwright and musical writer. I produced and directed self penned musicals in Birmingham and Edinburgh. I've written and recorded albums with several bands (Stereogram, Sordid Details, Raging Bullfrog to name but three) as well as a solo artiste and appeared before the Queen mum before she popped her cloggs(RIP) ... "You'll be up for a bostin good laugh-more please!" - Edinburgh Three Weeks... "I was blown away by this hilarious, energetic musical" - The Bromsgrove Standard ... Meander through my website (www.spoz.net) or Myspace take only memories, leave only footprints ... and some messages if you like... Warning : May contain nuts and rhyming language ..
