5 Minute Quickie's presents......

MIK ARTISTIK!

The Lady Mayoress was honoured to receive the local comedy genius Mik Artistik today at St Ives Town Hall.

Mik is extremely busy these days with tours across the UK coming up, including Glastonbury and Buxton, but you can still catch him in Leeds and Yorkshire. In fact he is playing tonight at the Fox and Newt on the Burley Road in Leeds- (opp Park Lane College- FREE, at 9pm!)

We were honoured to have a sneak acoustic version of his new soon to be hit record; 'Jimmy Savile's got my album (Jim's gonna fix it for Mik Artistik)'
Come tonight to hear it for yourselves for the very first outing!
