About

Georgie Jones is a poet and performer praised for her ‘formidable stage presence and compelling way with words’. A Roundhouse Slam finalist and BBC Words First alum, she has toured the UK, garnered millions of views online and nearly performed with Pitbull (a technicality she refuses to dwell on).

A performer by nature and a poet by trade, Georgie Jones has been praised for her ‘formidable stage presence and compelling way with words’ (Reviews Hub). Roundhouse Poetry Slam finalist turned Resident Artist and BBC Words First alum, Georgie has toured her work across the UK, gathered millions of views online and (almost) performed with Pitbull at the O2. Technically just outside it, but she’s counting it nonetheless.

Her debut collection And The World Spins Anyway was published Last Year with Burning Eye. It is a love letter to real life, however it shows up; an exploration of the exquisite messiness of modern existence in which Georgie, with her signature wit and warmth, makes the chaos feel quite comforting.
