9.15pm Mike McKenzie
In 2019 Mike McKenzie won BBC Radio Scotland’s ‘Singer/Songwriter of the Year’ as voted by Fran Healy, Karine Polwart, Horse McDonald and Geoff Ellis and went on to play some incredible shows around Scotland. Throughout the pandemic Mike reverted to his focus on songwriting and developing his sound as an artist landing somewhere between Tom O’del, David Gray, Luke Sital-Singh and Ben Abraham. His music is described as ‘Gorgeous’ by Jo Whiley on BBC Radio 2, ‘Absolutely Stunning’ by Grant Stott on Radio Scotland and last year he performed on BBC Radio Scotland’s legendary live music show ‘The Quay Sessions’ with Roddy Hart for their Edinburgh Fringe Special.

About Bodys
Bodys is a gig promoter in Wakefield, run by Emily since the start of 2019. We put on shows on the first Thursday of the month in the music hall at The Establishment, as well as other one-offs at other venues around town. The gigs usually have two acts, times are always posted well in advance, and gigs finish early (10pm) when buses and trains are still running, and you can go get an early night if you want one :)
