You can also find our audio podcast, live events and various social media links here: http://linktr.ee/YCTR Mik Artistik’s Ego Trip are genuinely delightful, funny, frightening, and indefinable. Northern rock and roll stand-up comes close. Every show is unique as Mik finds a new train of thought to ride. He connects, chats, breaks the wall between audience and band, creates chaos, plays air-crook lock (!?), all complimented by exquisite layers of rock, soul, funk, and punk created by Jonny Flockton on electric guitar, drum machine, and one of a number of well-heeled bass players. . The band are regular Glastonbury favourites since their first appearance in 2007. Many fans don’t consider Glastonbury has started until they’ve attended either Mik’s gig on the Wednesday afternoon at the Croissant Neuf Bandstand, or the chaos that reigns at Thursday evening’s Rocket Lounge gig. Both are now Glastonbury traditions for many fans. They have achieved an enviable reputation at many of the major UK festivals, including Latitude, Bearded Theory, Beat Herder, Wilderness, and Beautiful Days. BBC Radio 6Music have long been playing Mik’s music with Gideon Coe, Chris Hawkins, Shaun Keaveny and Tom Robinson all big fans of the band. In early 2020 no-less than rock icon and 6Music presenter Iggy Pop endorsed Mik’s anthem of hope ‘Sweet Leaf of the North’ as his favourite song of the last DECADE! … In his words “… because it’s human, it’s real and it has soul“

I recently found this band, The Tenementals, via the Lost Glasgow facebook page . The song was 'Owl of Minerva' and both the poetry of the words and the drive of the music grabbed me alongside a stunning animation video. They are launching an ambitious concept album about the radical history of Glasgow at the Oran Mor on November 27th that includes tales of fighting fascism alongside, early suffragette movement, Jimmy Reid and the miner strikes, the Poll Tax protests,  and the dark history of empire and slavery as well as celebrating the city's love for excess. The album, in either vinyl or digital format, can be pre-ordered from here: https://strengthinnumbersrecords.band... Album launch tickets are free but are limited and must be pre-booked from here in advance here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-te...

As a tribute to Paul Wellings aka The Anti Social Worker, who sadly passed away in July, we have uploaded a classic interview from October 2022. Paul was an innovator of pirate radio, an NME writer plus released music with the Mad Professor (Massive Attack) . He toured with with reggae icons like Peter Tosh (Marley's partner) and Eek A Mouse; He's performed with Billy Bragg, John Cooper Clarke and Benjamin Zephaniah. A self proclaimed militant grime poet who dropped a lot of wisdom and cockney geezer charm every time he appeared on You Call That Radio's live streams.
