Howard Marks And Friends: Fundraiser Announced - Tribute To A Counter-Culture Legend
Right, I wanted to share news about Howard Marks & Friends, a very special one-off event at the Kentish Town Forum on February 27th 2015. Following the recent sad news - Howard revealing that he has inoperable cancer - many of his friends have come together to celebrate an extraordinary life with the man himself.
Screen legend Rhys Ifans, who memorably immortalised Howard on celluloid in the film adaptation of Mr Nice, will be joined by members of the Super Furry Animals, including Daf’s latest project The Earth, Cian Ciaran and Bunf, who will all be performing throughout the evening. There will also be DJ sets from Hacienda legend Greg Wilson and Good Times kingpin Norman Jay, with many more acts to be announced soon. The show will be capped by an appearance from Howard himself, making Howard Marks & Friends a completely unmissable tribute to a truly remarkable one-off life well-lived. See below for a special poster from artist Pete Fowler and a few favourite images of a British counter-culture legend. There's a documentary coming soon too, check out the website.
