Back by popular demand, Mike Scott is one of the most popular and influential musicians on the local acoustic and folk scene. Mike’s work is rooted in the protest tradition of folk. Sometimes the songs are overtly political, but more often they are themes of more personal protest and reflection but they are always delivered with a whimsical humour and a sideways glance at a host of subjects from wealth to growing old. Check out his work at www.myspace.com/bristolsmikescott
