“The best live band I have seen all summer” ~ BBC 6Music Presenter Gideon Coe
“As mad as a wasp trapped under a pint glass” ~ BBC 6Music Presenter Shaun Keaveny.
Glastonbury favourite & while we’re on the subject of Glastonbury, Mik Artistik has performed over 100 shows over the last 11 Worthy Farm Festivals, including last summer where, as always, the band performed multiple shows over a variety of stages, and last year was followed around by two camera crews from the BBC who covered Mik in their BBC2 Glastonbury footage ~ some people say their Glastonbury hasn’t started until they’ve seen an Ego Trip show, others just make sure they attend as many as they can!
Iggy Pop played crowd-favourite ‘Plastic Fox’ recently on his 6Music show calling the song a ‘stone cold classic’
Keith Allen has on of his merchandise teapots, and ‘Homeland’ actor Damian Lewis always makes a bee-line for Mik’s shows at Port Eliot! …. and this summer festivals across the Country were seduced by Mik’s story telling tunes.
Mik, Jonny Flockton, & Gregg, return to Seven, and if you’ve never seen one of Mik’s show before, then expect the unexpected! It’s an incredibly daft, joyful, and sometimes poignant affair, as Mik tumbles around the stage, spluttering lyric’s, occasionally tripping over leads, and sprinkling the audience with straws, whilst the elegant engine room of Jonny Flockton & Gregg hold down the melodies.
The band are a Yorkshire treasure, and never fail to get an audience singing along, laughing, gasping!, but most of all, enjoying themselves… it will be joyous!
Come along and see for yourselves…. you won’t be disappointed!
