As a musical director I love chatting to other MD's so this was such a wonderful opportunity to catch up with Mike who has worked as MD for Take That , Jeff Lynne's ELO, Gary Barlow,  Annie Lennox and by royal appointment for The Queens Diamond Jubilee concert but also works with so many other artists in the live arena as well as being an incredible producer for artists including Annie and Marc Almond. I caught up with him at his beautiful home studio to talk about his musical inspirations and how he started out in function bands leading up being signed as an artist himself and the incredible story of what happened the first time Jeff Lynne finally got back on stage after all those years and how much faith he had in Mike to make it happen. A true professional and one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. Enjoy.
