Henry Rollins brings spoken word to Wulfrun Hall

Musician, writer, actor, campaigner - the tireless Henry Rollins is bringing his latest spoken word tour to Wolverhampton's Wulfrun Hall.

Rollins' spoken word performances – "talking shows" as he calls them – are a mix of humor and outrage; pop culture, political commentary and personal anecdote; healthy skepticism and rugged realism.

His 'The Long March' tour arrives at the Wulfrun on Thursday, January 19, 2012. Tickets cost £17 plus booking fees and are available from Midland Box Office on 0870 320 7000 or at www.wolvescivic.co.uk

"Rollins is many things," says the Washington Post, "diatribist, confessor, provocateur, humorist, even motivational speaker. His is an enthusiastic and engaging chatter."

Entertainment Weekly says: "Punk-rock icon. Spoken word poet. Actor. Author. DJ. Is there anything this guy can't do?"

For better than a quarter century, Rollins has toured the world as a spoken word artist, as frontman for both Rollins Band and Black Flag and – without a microphone – as a solitary traveler with insatiable curiosity bypassing the resorts in favor of places like Siberia and Senegal, or Burma and Bangladesh.

When he's not living out of a backpack, Rollins is constantly at work as an actor, radio DJ, author of more than 20 books, and running his publishing company and record label 2.13.61. He currently hosts a weekly radio show on L.A.'s renowned NPR affiliate KCRW, is a regular columnist for LA Weekly, and is hosting National Geographic's new three-part series Animal Underworld With Henry Rollins.
