Songs of hope for the planet | Harry & Chris | TEDxExeter
If you worry about the future of the planet, let Harry and Chris lighten your mood with their optimistic comedy-rap-jazz take on conservation.
A World Poetry Slam champion and an internationally celebrated jazz musician, Harry Baker and Chris Read have sold out three runs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, with subsequent tours bringing light, love and laughter to a world that needs it more than ever.

At TEDxExeter 2019 our theme was The Art of the Possible. We’re living in an age of polarity where many communities are feeling more and more divided, against a backdrop of increasingly populist politics which risk dividing us even further. Our talks offer an opportunity to pause and consider the future we want to create, the possibilities that may be obscured in the busyness of our everyday lives, and how we might get there.

This is so clever and wise and funny. Bridging intelligence and creativity and so many different artistic elements. Joy along with brilliance is rare.
The way things are is not the way they have to be, No body's asking you to save the world singlehandedly, Tomorrow will bring worries of it's own, But with every step today there is less to go
This is such a clever and imaginative way to push forward a truly powerful message. Well done guys!🎙🤩
Pandas have standards. Love it.
Always loved eats shoots leaves but the second song was fantastic too, thank you for everything you two do, your so precious xxx
Mind blowing lyrical talent right there, and my gawd that exquisitely played Faith geetar sounds good 👏👏🙏👍❤️
Pure genius! I love the flimsiness of the best possible defence of plastic straws and cutlery. Here’s hoping our great great great grandchildren are so forgiving...
This is great wish more people saw this.
Great work guys!
Great work
Eats shoots and leaves was a book title years ago. The songs are great though!
