Spoz is not his real name. It’s actually Giovanni Esposito. ‘Spoz’ being the bit between the ‘E’ and the ‘ito’ (kind of).

Spoz is … a sort of poet. The sort, in fact, that has been published, recorded, been on the radio, won awards, is a member of the renowned ‘New October Poets’, taken part in so many festivals, he’s lost count and even had a commission from the BBC. The sort of poet that isn’t quite everybody’s cup of tea, though, could be yours.

No flowery language here, I laughed out loud and so did my eleven year old daughter – Ryan’s Gig Guide

The only poet I know who rhymed ‘Hound of the Baskervilles’ with ‘pound and a flask of pills’ and made it make sense – Birmingham Post

Spoz is … a singer, songwriter, playwright and musical writer. He has produced and directed self penned musicals in Birmingham and Edinburgh. He’s written and recorded albums with several bands as well as a solo artiste and appeared before the Queen mum (RIP).

You’ll be up for a bostin good laugh…more please – Edinburgh Three Weeks

I was blown away by this hilarious, energetic musical – The Bromsgrove Standard

Spoz is … a hit with the kids when it comes to poetry and music workshops!
