The Big Chief of the Manchester scene, Mike has been writing and performing for many years being an inspiration to many bands that have emerged from the city.

He has collaborated with many artists and has appeared, as a result on many albums

 His music ranges from the raw energetic tracks that blow you away to more relaxed, deep, yet complex ballads...

The band has been in existence since the late nineties, its members at one time or another, have also played with the Runt O The Litter - that well season'd and well travelled folk band from SW Scotland!! However, the Runt sadly is no longer playing as a unit, but hey ho! Anyway - the Life still goes on, playing most Sat nights at the Crown Hotel in Portpatrick, and this is a great place to play music...
