Mike is an accomplished performer in many guitar styles, namely classical, Spanish, Latin, jazz, rock and pop. Mike's guitar playing provides the perfect backdrop to live events ranging from weddings (tailored to client music requests) to upbeat party atmospheres (more rhythmic styles such as Latin jazz or acoustic rock/pop), to dinners (where a subtle background ambience is desired).
For over ten years Mike has performed at many prestigious venues including The Barbican, The Oval, Wentworth Golf Course, The Royal Pavilion (Brighton), The Four Seasons Hotels, The Savoy, Leeds Castle, The Gherkin, County Hall (London Eye) and many more. Past clients include Pizza Express, Friends Of The Earth, Henley Regatta, La Tasca and Cambridge University to name a few.
Current projects include TV music with music labels Sony/EMI and Boosey & Hawkes, and Mike's music has appeared on TV shows such as Top Gear / The One Show (BBC) and Harry Hill's TV Burp / My Child's Not Perfect (ITV). Mike's guitar has also been heavily featured on the hit game Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
