To mark May Day, Margate Rocks invites the most free-thinking musician, artist and general creative man out there, local Kent boy Billy Childish, to entertain you. Billy will be performing a very special solo show, his first performance in Margate for a long time.

A cult figure in America, Europe and Japan, Billy Childish is by far the most prolific painter, poet, and song-writer of his generation. In a twenty year period he has published 30 collections of his poetry, recorded over 70 full-length independent LP's and produced over 1,000 paintings.
