Mike is the proprietor of Guitar House55, in Richmond, selling a range of guitars, amplifiers and associated goodies.

Mike started playing guitar back in the 60's playing in various rock, blues, and jazz bands throughout the 60's and early 70s.

Famous bands supported, by Mike's band in the 60's, include the Kinks, Rory Gallagher, the Foundations, Marmalade. In fact, the Bay City Rollers used to be the warm up band for Mike's band before they became famous!

Mike's playing career was interrupted by an inconvenient 25 year stretch in the computer industry and in 2003 Mike opened Guitar House55 selling guitars in Richmond, North Yorkshire.

He now gets a lot of pleasure from playing again in several bands, in the Richmond area, and in 2008 played a blues set at the Glastonbury Festival. Like everyone else in the band, Mike is just an old geezer who would rather have been a rock star...
