John Hegley

John Hegley was born in North London and was educated in Luton, Bristol and Bradford. His first public performance monies were accrued from busking his songs, initially outside a shoe shop in Hull in the late Seventies. He performed on the streets of London in the early eighties, fronting the Popticians with whom he also recorded two sessions for John Peel. He has since performed his words sung and spoken across the network for BBC radio.

He has produced material about dog hair, potatoes and handkerchiefs in a philosophical framework. He is an occasional dancer on stage and page, you might say. Also a workshop leader using drawing, poetry and gesture. He was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Arts from what is now the University of Bedfordshire and once performed in a womens' prison in Columbia with his daughter's godfather, Nigel.
