Writer, poet and musician Carl Antony Plover (aka Wasps vs Humans) established creative collective Parasol Productions with three other independent talents. He has written five plays for theatre, all produced.

Under the name Wasps vs Humans performed as a punk poet, sharing the stage with some of Ireland’s & The UK’s well regarded performers and lyrical geniuses, including John Cooper Clarke, Christy Moore, Scroobius Pip, Whipping Boy, Jinx Lennon and a daring opening for The Fall. He has also had two novels and one poetry collection published.

He released an L.P and single with UK based 80s avant garde / experimental band, 4,000,000 Telephones, which gained critical acclaim in the UK national press and made the playlist of BBC Radio 1’s John Peel show. Tipped by NME as most likely candidates for better things. His more recent collaborations include the release of two singles with Cork based music producers and composers, Peter Power and Dave Duffy under the name Wasps vs Noise. He has also curated and compered the spoken word stage at the Independence Music & Arts Festival in Ireland and is currently one half of comedy duo Two Corpses With Hard ons.
