I imagine that he shall be residing in the pub over the weekend.

Over the years he has done many spoken word events and played the odd bit of music at student nights ect. Never seen him, but some of my mates have said he's good and odd bit tele I have seen he has been quite funny.

His book is well worth a read.

Check out his website...

http://www.howardmarks.name/

Tells you a fair bit, but really the guy has done so much in his life you wouldn't believe.

A good summary from the back of Mr Nice, his autobiography....

"During the mid-1980s, Marks had 43 aliases and 25 companies, all laundering money from dealing cannabis. After a world-wide operation, he was arrested and sentenced to 25 years at a State Penitentiary in Indiana, but was released in 1995 after serving seven years. This is his own story."

Honestly, you really will like him. He's an amazing guy, and fantastic to speak to if you get the chance. Which I think we all will by the sounds of things!!

:P

Yeah it's a good book. And apparently he does interesting talks and stuff. So it'll be all about promoting the new film to all the people who didn't know who he was before etc

Read his book 'Mr. Nice', then you'll see what all the fuss is about. The man is a living legend, social hero. Really looking forward to seeing his new film.

And actually can't wait to see him behind a bar and have a wee chat, well done Jim King, well cool addition to an already stellar looking line-up.

I can't look at his website at work. I guess the reason I've been blocked tells me what I need to know about him though!! :P
