Critically acclaimed spoken-word artist and musician Antony Szmierek held an evening of infectious lyrics.
We joined critically acclaimed spoken-word artist and musician Antony Szmierek for an evening of infectious lyrics as he rounded out a busy summer of performances at Glastonbury, Bearded Theory and the Hay Festival. He headlined a special intimate gig just for BBC Contains Strong Language festival.
The Manchester-based artist’s debut album “Service Station at the End of the Universe” was released in February 2025 and was supported by BBC Radio 6Music as well as live sessions on Jo Whiley’s Radio 2 programme.
Szmierek’s debut book “Roadmap” is also out now, described as an “exploded view” of the tracks on his debut album.
