Benjamin Zephaniah is famous for rejecting an OBE from the Queen in 2003, but he is also famous for some fantastic, inspiring poetry, inspired by the Jamaican rhythms and street voices of his upbringing in Handsworth.

Zephaniah is also a dub musician of international standing and this comes through strongly in his performance.
