Billy Childish

Billy Childish’s May Day Music Show

To mark May Day, Margate Rocks invites Kentish musician, artist and poet Billy Childish, to entertain you. Hosted in the beautiful surroundings of the second oldest theatre in England, Childish will be performing a very special solo show for his first performance in Margate for a very long time.

A cult figure in America, Europe and Japan, Childish has published 30 collections of his poetry, recorded over 70 full-length independent LP’s and produced over 1000 paintings.

“In a few years Childish has founded several bands; a couple of small independent publishers; and an art movement - and then jumped ship from all of them the minute they started to become popular. And for the past few years, he has been to Charles Saatchi and the Young British Artists what the little boy in the crowd was to the Emperor’s New Clothes.”
