Mik Artistik is a poet, performer, artist and comedian. With his compadre Jonny Flockton on guitars and a selection of well heeled bass players , they travel from city to city, frightening and delighting adults and children with their special brand of joyous madness.
Iggy Pop played two of their tunes on his radio show on 6Music and called Plastic Fox a stone old classic, and introduced Sweet Leaf of the North with This is a great song.
Gideon Coe on 6music calls them The best live act I've seen all summer.
Martin Parr calls them My favourite band on the planet.
They've played Glastonbury for the last ten years, supported Faust, Chas and Dave , played the London Fashion Show, and Batley Rugby Club , and are loved by all/some.
Mik is supported by Nick Degg, multi-award winning Poetry Slam Finalist, and probably the only poet with a whistled poem in his repertoire.
He has a range of writing styles from bittersweet love poems, to out and out comedic rants. Always delivered with some Northern oomph.
