Argh Kid

David Scott AKA Manchester street poet ARGH KiD combines an intoxicating mix of street smart rhymes delivered with sharp wit and hilarious anecdotes.

With Christopher Eccleston and Liam Gallagher as fans, the “Acapella Eminem” is now the Official Poet for the NSPCC, UEFA and Manchester United and there are few artists in his genre able to provide on-point commentary and storytelling with the same spirit, skill and compassion.

David is also a poet on a mission to make the artform accessible to the masses. Using his own experiences as a template he facilitates workshops across the country, creating a sense of what is possible to young people when you pick up a pen.

Lyrics of life in austerity UK with all it’s flaws and lingering beauty are also laid on top of a backdrop of eclectic mix of music - fusing Hip-Hop with Punk, Jazz and Ska samples, with live shows that are a high-octane concoction of breakbeats, outstanding musicianship and a powerful and passionated lyrical outpouring rarely seen on stage these days.
