Folk Bands and Artists
Mik Artistik
Mik Artistik´s Ego Trip are a strange and wonderful beast of a band juggling stand up, rock and performance art effortlessly ..and even gettin funky with it.
It´s an incredibly daft, joyful and sometime poignant affair, as Mik tumbles around the stage ,spluttering lyrics, occasionally tripping over leads , or sprinkling straws over the audience, while the elegant engine of Benson Walker on bass and Jonny Flockton on guitar hold down the melodies.
They´ve drawn wild and enthusiastic crowds at Glastonbury for the last five years as well as storming appearances at Port Eliot, Latitude, Leeds Festival in the same period. They´ve received airplay on Radio 1,Radio 4 and on Jarvis Cocker´s show on 6...and even played the London Fashion show!
