    I saw Mike as a surprise mystery guest in the big top at the Greenbelt festival in the early '90's, Just him and his guitar, and he blasted out a load of Alarm tracks.
    The whole tent was rocking, there is better atmosphere in a tent when everyone is singing along than seeing the band on main stage in the open air the next year though still a great live band.
    Sad news and RIP
