I’m Jimmy Andrex, a poet and musician aka Johnny Panic & the Bible of Dreams.
I make poetry you can dance to.
I regularly feature on BBC 6 Music, Resonance FM and BBC Introducing’s regional programmes.
I’ve also been on Radio 3’s The Verb.
What’s it like? People who like it invariably say one of three very flattering things:
1 “Do you like John Cooper Clarke?”
2 “Do you like Sleaford Mods?”
3 “Have you heard of a band called Yard Act?”
My ambition in life is that one day, someone will look at the name and ask me if I like Sylvia Plath.
Tom Robinson likes it, bless him, so does Dexter Bentley on Resonance FM and Shakk on BBC Tees is a big supporter. Kingsley from Benefits described me as “kindred spirits.” Recently, Ian McMillan said on Twitter that the track Alec Clegg Still Dreams “moved me to tears.” The work has been connecting with more people and getting more national and regional airplay. Did I mention I appeared on Radio 3’s The Verb?
