"He plays confident, swinging violin in a style based on Stephane Grappelli with aspects of Eddie South and Stuff Smith, mixed into what emerges as a very personal means of expression"....."I hope Mike's enterprise in making this open-minded record receives the reception it so richly deserves"...."..impressive versatility" (Jazz Journal International). |
Playing guitar, and occasional violin, with soul, blues and reggae bands in the London club scene of the 1970s, first group The Bone Idols played local gigs and toured the South of France. During a week's residency at a nightclub in Cannes, Stephane Grappelli, who was playing down the road at the Palm Beach Casino, came in most evenings to unwind and sat at the band table - a significant encounter in view of future events. Playing with other local bands including The Sound of St. James and Krivoli Rog who featured vocalist Paul Conroy, later chairman of the Brit Awards. An attempt at a "proper job" at the BBC tape library with a view to becoming a sound engineer, was cut short after playing at all-nighter gigs in London at weekends and not being on the ball on Monday morning, although came back to the BBC on a couple more occasions.
Still on guitar, All-nighters at the Flamingo Club in London's Wardour St. with the System Soul Band opposite bands like Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames, and US Airforce bases around the UK with Mac and Katie Kissoon were followed by a year with Junior's Conquest, which featured Hammond organist/guitarist Junior Kerr (later aka Junior Marvin of Bob Marley and The Wailers). This was followed by 2 years, as guitarist/violinist, with The Gass recording first album at Sound Techniques and Trident Studios, which featured Fleetwood Mac guitarist Peter Green as a guest on two tracks. Apart from some dates in Spain The Gass played mainly the London club scene, which at the time included The Bag O' Nails, Speakeasy, Scotch of St. James, The Revolution, Rasputin's, Sybillas and a Saturday night residency "Upstairs" at Ronnie Scott's where regular sitters-in included Peter Green, Georgie Fame and the horn section from Ginger Baker's "Airforce".
Another venture - Phil Collins's "Zox & the Radar Boys" - a band he formed pre Brand X, while still with Genesis - MP violin.
A change to a more acoustic style, featuring more violin, resulted in tours, recordings, broadcasts from 1974 with Paul Brett (3 albums). Claim to fame! - Possibly the only person ever to appear on the Old Grey Whistle Test wearing a dressing gown - see videos) - still have the OGWT badge of honour; Paul King (Mungo Jerry) - 3 albums, Ralph McTell (6 albums) and tours with Ralph and Danny Thompson, including a week in Holland supporting Randy Newman and also concerts with Ralph's six piece band which included Dave Mattacks, Dave Pegg, Maddy Prior and Nigel Portman-Smith.

MP- GUITARIST: Becoming aware of recordings by such artists as Big Bill Broonzy, Robert Johnson, T Bone Walker and John Lee Hooker, my first live introduction to the blues was John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers featuring Eric Clapton and then Peter Green and other British Blues bands of that era. After playing in local groups such as the Convicts, The ‘Ighbroughs, The Bone Idols, and Sound of St. James, I joined the System Soul Band, playing Clubs and US Airforce bases in the UK, and All-nighters at London’s Flamingo Club. This led to playing in soul and reggae bands around London and Junior’s Conquest led by Hammond organist/guitarist Junior Kerr who, as Junior Marvin, later joined Bob Marley and the Wailers.
My first album recording was with The Gass for Polydor records. The band was Bobby Tench (voc), DeLisle Harper (bass), Godfrey Mclean (dms), Derek Austin (keybds), myself (guitar/violin). The Gass played London’s top night clubs: The Bag O’Nails, Speakeasy, Blaises, Revolution, Rasputin’s, Sybilla’s, Scotch of St James, tours of Spain and, for a year, a Saturday night residency “Upstairs” at Ronnie Scotts. Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac was a regular sitter-in at these sessions and played on two tracks on the Gass album. The Gass also recorded with Jack Hammer (writer "Great Balls of Fire"). Continuing to play guitar alongside violin, including with Shakey Vick's Blues Band, which included bass player Alex Dmochowski, (previously with Aynsley Dunbar's Retaliation and later with Frank Zappa). Alex and I were planning a band "Wavy Gravy" - which never materialised...."Blues on the Farm" with Gary Brooker Band (vln) and with Madeleine Bell at Ronnie Scott's (gtr). A special moment was recording the album" Do It" with the great Joanne Kelly and Pete Emery in 1976.
Current gigs with contemporary blues players include The Nigel Bagge Band and Mike Dowling (USA), Duck Baker (USA,) UK band “Mess of Blues” (featuring Graham Hinton ex Bone Idols) and Eric Ranzoni’s Blues band. Playing with Laurence Corns - a very versatile musician and great bluesman too. Also with Marcus Bonfanti - great blues guitarist and vocalist with Ten Years After and "Ronnie Scott Blues Explosion."
"One of the blackest white geezers I've ever met" - Jim Richardson (bassist with Georgie Fame, Chet Baker)
