Mick Hardy
at the Branford Arms, Norwich

Norwich’s own Mick Hardy writes and sings songs that usually have a point to make. However, you need not expect the sort of po-faced lecturing that some other self-styled ‘eco-warriors’ come up with! Mick’s songs and his performance of them are often so hilarious that he has to pause to let the audience quieten down before he can deliver his next deadly line...

The subjects for Mick's songs range from rain-forests to the Royal Family, with characters including Ann Widdecombe, boy racers and chinless wonders, in locations extending from the Masonic Lodge to McDonald’s. Rumour has it that McDonald’s want to sue him over one of his songs... They have to catch him first!

Mick's material isn’t all hard-hitting stuff, though – he has also written some lovely atmospheric and mystical songs, such as “Arthur’s Gone to Avalon” and “Minstrel from Albion”, as well as some fine blues.

Mick is an expert on crop circles and a regular contributor to the leading magazine on the subject, The Cerealogist.
