Leeds hairdressers sent mystery mail from the 'Banksy of Poetry'

A man dubbed 'the Banksy of poetry' has been posting mysterious mail to hairdressers in Leeds

A mystery man with an eye for a rhyme has been posting poetry to hairdressers in Leeds.

The handwritten poems - which have previously turned up in salons across the UK - are all signed 'Mark Jones' and feature a Lancashire postmark, but no one has ever discovered who he is.

Alexis Cavell owns The Salon in Meanwood and is among the local hairdressers who've started receiving poems. Radio Aire's Rosanna Austin went to meet her:

Alexis says she loves receiving the poems, and intends to frame them so all of her clients can read them.

She adds that, if Mr Jones ever identifies himself, she'll give him a free hair cut.
