Henry Raby

In 2016 punk poet Henry Raby visited the British Library's exhibition on punk which presented the genre as a packable relic. To kick back, Henry celebrates 40 Years of Punk Rock by breathing life into the spiky spirit of resistance.

Henry tells the tale of fictional band Vandal Raptor. They were the greatest 4-piece dinosaur-themed punk band in the scene. Snarling through songs and snapping strings, they sang about changing the world?until they broke up.

Our story finds them 10 years later accidentally reunited in their old stomping ground. Has their passion for DIY and protest gone extinct, or still roaring loud?

Using spoken word, poetry, live music and raw story-telling Henry tells a tale of rebellion, growing up and friendship.
