Mike cut his teeth as a bassist in the pubs of West Yorkshire performing with a 60’s tribute band at the tender age of 17. His first performance amp was the MAG C115 200 which ignited his love of all things Ashdown. Down the years, now 29 and hailing from Liverpool, Mike has performed in and musically directed theatre shows, worked as a session musician and is in demand as a live player on the function scene. He currently performs with award winning function band The Fun Time Frankies, power trio The Black Ties, and is a pivotal part of the rhythm section of authentic funk and soul band The Tremé.

“As not all of us have the luxury of roadies my ABM Neo 115 is an absolute game changer. I can carry both the cab and an ABM 300 EVO II head in either arm and still get the glorious, warm Ashdown sound I have fell in love with all those years ago.”
