Tony Walsh

Tony Walsh

Tony Walsh is one of the UK’s most widely recognised and in-demand professional poets.

A regular on tv and radio since 2011, Tony performs and teaches internationally and his work has been commissioned by a growing list of major institutions, attracting a legion of fans and celebrity admirers. His work came to worldwide attention in May 2017 when broadcast globally from the vigil for victims of the arena bomb outrage in his beloved Manchester. His performance trended worldwide on social media and his poem, This Is The Place, entered the folklore and fabric of the city he’s still proud to call home – painted onto walls, recited in schools, re-mixed by DJs, even tattooed onto skin.

Tony was previously seen at 2017’s festival, when he performed This Is The Place alongside a new poem specially commissioned to celebrate Head for the Hills.
