MIKE DENNIS
"Violin in hand and a multitude of effects and loop pedals at his feet, he builds up to a string and percussion crescendo before opening his mouth and… wow! This guy doesn’t just spit rhymes, they cascade out at a speed that is as ferocious as his lyrics." - Wake The Deaf (Ben Gallivan)
Championed by 6Music’s Tom Robinson, Mike has been enthralling audiences across the country and the continent with humour, sass and virtuoso musicianship for nearly a decade. This is not a gig to miss.
