Salon no 1:
Happening every first Saturday of the month at the Orb in Knareborough - a social and musical evening of sonic goodness, genre exploration, entertainment and cabaret fun, curated by Knareborough troglodytes cAVE.
Saturday 5th March is our first night, and we present: the 'surreal punk, funk, electric comedy phenomenon' that is Mik Artisticks Ego Trip who hits Knaresborough, hot from his successful gig opening for internationally acclaimed photographer Martin Parr at the Hepworth.
About Mik Artistik’s Ego Trip:
...an edgy, funny, poetic unit who play rock and roll stand up. Chaos ensues onstage with Mik chucking straws , spouting random observations, and following his train of thought into the audience.
Jonny Flockton and Benson Walker on guitar and bass dutifully try and rein him in, while creating a joyous,funky,elegant, and rocky backdrop .
Every show is different.
They’re Glastonbury regulars ,appeared on Channel 4’s Random Acts last year and are playing other festivals this year including Bath Comedy Fest, Brighton Fringe Festival, Photo Book Festival with Martin Parr, Port Eliot Literary Festival and Fire in the Mountain Festival.
