My new single, “Please Hold”, is now available to download on iTunes, and to stream (if you must!) on Spotify etc. You can listen to a short blast of it here: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/id1573827474?app=itunes
I’ve been trying to get as many people as possible to download it rather than stream it, because it’s a much better return for a struggling artist, so please check it out, and do tell your friends!
There are also various other songs on the Majk Stokes youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi6tnlvrcrWPXKko30PG-BA And a few of my songs are now on Soundcloud as well, including one or two you won’t be able to hear anywhere else…
My 2020 Christmas single, “Socks”, can be found on iTunes and similar places. Recorded at Offbeat Studios, we also did a little video for its B-side, The Facemask song: which is possibly the most scary you’ve ever seen me! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulP11io_Jpw&feature=youtu.be

And if you want to have a listen to some of Majk’s songs performed “live”, here are a couple to whet your appetite…
The Quaker Meeting House where I work in my day job overlooks Victoria Street, now widely accepted as at least a decent chunk of the inspiration behind “Diagon Alley” in the Harry Potter books… and a while ago, street artist Kat Robertson came and drew some bees on our pillars- and made one of them a Dumbledore bee! (Dumbledore is an old word for bumblebee- but you already knew that…)
… and because Kat and I are both supporters of Extinction Rebellion, Dumbledore has an XR badge on his hat…
… and we did a little recording of my song, “We Need The Bees”:
And just for good measure, this one was recorded at the Forest Cafe…
