🍂 MIK ARTISTIK'S EGO TRIP LIVE IN EDINBURGH 🍂Iggy Pop called Sweet Leaf of the North his favourite song of the 2010s because "it's human, it's real and it has soul."
If you're wondering what kind of live performance inspires that reaction, this is your chance to find out.
On Saturday 7 November, Mik Artistik's Ego Trip bring their unique blend of spoken word, live music, storytelling and glorious unpredictability to Edinburgh's Wee Red Bar.
Wildly original and impossible to categorise, Mik Artistik's Ego Trip have spent years building a devoted following across the UK through performances that are funny, moving, chaotic, profound and completely unlike anything else on the live circuit.
Every show is different.
At the centre of it all is Mik Artistik: poet, storyteller, accidental philosopher and master of the unexpected. One moment he'll have the room crying with laughter, the next he'll deliver an observation so beautifully human that it hangs in the air long after the applause has faded.
Alongside him, the exceptional Jonny Flockton creates a rich and captivating musical backdrop, blending rock, soul, funk, punk and exquisite guitar work into a sound entirely their own.
Expect:
🎸 Outstanding live musicianship
🎤 Poetry, stories and songs
😂 Surreal humour and audience interaction
❤️ Humanity, warmth and soul
⚡ A genuinely unique live experience
