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.
