Mick is a well known musician from both the local and national scene. He plays bass as well as delivering a very recognisable lead vocal. He is an immensely powerful and expressive vocalist, at home bringing his approach to most forms of material including rock, blues and soul/funk. As he puts it he loves to sort out the “stops, starts, farts and barks” in the music, a task he is eminently suited for, as he has a very famous set of tonsils on him.
He has performed extensively in the South Yorkshire region in such bands as Shedd's on Fire, Shedds the follow up band to that and in the past Equinox and Fixer. The latter band also worked in Europe. Pete and Mick had a short sojourn with ToshRollo back in the late '80's and renewed their musical partnership in the formation of ChinWig.
Mick is working in the Pig’n’aif family as a session vocalist and songwriting partner to Pete. You can hear his vocal output on the Pig’n’aif album ‘The Jester... Thinks...’
For bass performances Mick uses Trace Elliot, Crate, Boss equipment with his customised Fender Bass. Live he uses Shure microphones for his vocals.
