Huw Olesker is the first artist to sign to Turf Records, following a summer of guerrilla gigs at the Secret Garden Party and Blissfields festivals. He’s the witty, foul-mouthed youth of Portsmouth, commandeered by the mind of an ageing activist. He’s also a Blue Peter badge winner. At 16 years old, he’s more self-aware, more self-deprecating, and more egotistical, than most poets in their late 50′s. He’s got the worldly views of a cynical punk with a cutting irreverent wit, masked by an appearance of adolescence.
