Ichabod Wolf
chabod Wolf is a songwriter from Derbyshire. He performs original songs about myth, mortality and unemployment in a distinctive baritone voice.
“Truly an enigmatic voice worth hearing, it’s masterful. Romance cheek-by-jowl with ugly reality.” - Shaun Keaveny, BBC 6 Music
“An amazing thing, it quite stopped me in my tracks.” - Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music
“Gorgeous. A bit Jacques Brel, a bit Jake Thackray.” - Stuart Maconie, BBC 6 Music
“Sublime, literate guitar pop in the mould of Lloyd Cole and Edwin Collins.” - Tony Walsh, Poet
“One of the most fantastic lyric writers I’ve ever encountered.” - Helen Mort, Poet

David Viney
David Viney is a multiple poetry slam winner, workshop facilitator and guest at poetry nights and festivals across the UK – he has published two poetry collections with Flapjack Press, ‘A Poet Called Dave’ (2015) and ‘In Orbit, Back Soon’ (2021). His biggest gig (so far) was performing at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the World Taekwondo Championships at Manchester Arena in May 2019. His smallest gig (so far) was to one man and a dog at Edinburgh Fringe and “the dog loved it.”
Through his facilitator work in prisons, schools and community groups, he continues to connect people to poetry.
“David Viney is one of the authentic voices of Manchester, a man who can be funny, sincere and compassionate in one fell swoop.” - Jo Bell / Former Director of National Poetry Day
"Viney is unpretentious, unflinching and undeniably one of the best spoken word performers in the country.”
- Robert Steventon / host of Punk in Drublic Spoken Word & Comedy
“Oozes smooth Mancunian swagger.” - Words and Voices / Reviews
