"Artistic Echoes is celebrating its tenth year with a special showcase of some of the best acoustic musicians and poets in the Northwest at King Edward Street Chapel this Saturday, followed by an after-party at Macclesfield's premiere music venue Mash," he said.

"We have been supporting both local and international artists through our magazine and our live show 'From The Mic Stand'. We promote amazing talent worldwide: poets, writers, musicians, and artists of every kind and flavour.

"We thought the best way to celebrate this occasion was by showcasing some fantastic local artists at the beautiful historic King Edward Street Chapel on October 12.

"Joining us at the event is Macclesfield resident Aerynn, who performs breathtaking corroded folk music that lulls you into a blissful trance and Yopo who creates a genre-bending bliss of Jazz and hip-hop. Also, we will have a special set from Macclesfield jazz pianist extraordinaire Charlie Ormrod.

"We are also joined Mark Rawlins (aka Mark The Poet) a self-confessed grumpy old git, rhyming ranter and host of Mash's Poetry Pandemonium, and Rob Steventon the founder of The Saboteur award-winning Punk In Drublic Poetry and author of 'How I Made My Millions".

"Making the short trip to Macclesfield will be the potteries wordsmith Nick Degg. who crafts words with the dexterity of a sausage knotter and it has been said some of his poems actually taste of pork.

"LASH and Shy Men will be performing at our afterparty at Mash in Macclesfield and it is included as part of your ticket."

Mike, who is a poet himself under the stage name Mike 'Ruler Of The God Damn Universe' Chisholm, will also take to the stage, sharing tales of life, love, loss, rebellion and superheroes.
