Mike and Martin sang all night once at Goole, with Jez in support and it was magical. Mike was in fine form and the packed crowd were entranced.This was in the seventies and absolutely, the best of many inspirational evenings I spent at Goole, Hull and Selby Folk clubs listening to Mike and his family. Whenever I feel homesick for Hull and my roots, Mike's familiar accent takes me back to Sunday mornings singing in Preston(East Riding)chapel and reminds me of my Dad singing the old songs at home. I'm proud to boast that we came from the same city and am in awe of Mike's incredible talent. Mike was friendly and easy to talk to, accessable and always ready to answer any questions, never "big time". Thanks for the history lessons and you wouldn't have wanted a house in Kirkella I'm sure. RIP. Ann.
