Spike Out + Band in Middlesbrough, EN

ABOUT

I am a prolific song writer with over 500 songs (since 2020)
A vocalist
and tin whistle player

In October 2022 I set up an acoustic folk punk band playing original tracks. Gigging mainly in the North East / Yorkshire but also played Rebellion Punk Festival in August 2024. We recorded an EP and album and appeared on 2 punk compilation albums

In Sept 2025 I set up Spiked Out as a new vehicle for my songs

Style wise: I am punk through and through and politically I am left wing and anti-fascist. I am big on inclusion, empathy and celebrating diversity pro LGBTQ & tackling misogyny - but a lot of the songs planned for Spiked Out are just fun

I well known on the punk circuit partly because I dance to every band - but also because I organise a bus from the NE England to Rebellion Festival
