Howard Marks Comes To Liverpool

• 26th Apr 2010

'Mr Nice' Howard Marks come to Liverpool for one night only at the O2 Academy on Saturday 15th May. The renowned Drug Smuggler is something of a 'cult hero' amongst the student population and has talked about his life at the Oxford Union.

The story of Howard Marks has become particularly prominent of late as a film about the man himself is due for release next year. Actor Rhys Ifans will play the lead in the upcoming movie and Marks will be giving an insight into the film, whilst talking about the events that made up the material for such a screenplay at the Liverpool show.

Marks commented, “I have been to Liverpool a couple of times for gigs in the last couple of years, it's starting to feel like my second home. I'm sure the crowd will enjoy what I have to offer them.”

Promoter Steve Wraith from GM2 Projects is delighted to have Howard Marks back on Merseyside. “Howard has led an interesting life to say the least, and while I don't condone what he has done, I feel it's only right that people get a chance to see and listen to his story.”

Tickets for the event are priced at £12 / £15 adv and available from ticketweb.co.uk and O2 Academy Liverpool box office. He will be supported by top Liverpool band 6ix Toys and Smokin’ Barrels
