We’re not sure exactly how many times the Glasto legend took to the stage this weekend but whatever stage Mik appeared at, it was magic. Looking a little like Goldie and sounding like Les Dawson, Mik Artistic treated us to his sing-a-long autobiographical songs about dipsticks, sporks and his pocket full of straws.
Our magic moment came on Thursday at Croissant Neuf stage when a passing Spanish troubadour (in aviator shades and a tracksuit) accompanied Mik on mariachi trumpet. The blunt northerner was noticeably overwhelmed, “There’s a fiver for you at the end if you hang about.” But the tracksuited troubadour was already marching into the sunset… possibly to surprise some balloon loons in the Stone Circle.
