George the Poet (2015 Event)
George Mpanga is the 24 year old Cambridge-educated wordsmith who has attracted attention and accolades with his socio-political verse and urban beats, including a nomination for the BBC Music Sound of 2015. Born to Ugandan parents and brought up in London, Mpanga presents Search Party, his first collection of verse brimming with his trademark mix of wit, honesty and rhythm to articulate the voice of a new generation. In this event, recorded live at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, George the Poet holds his audience spellbound with his inimitable charm.
