Way back in the sixties, after playing guitar in a
couple of bands, and spending hours experimenting at home with multitrack guitar
recording on a Revox, Mike got a job in a music recording studio in London as a
trainee recording engineer/tape operator. The studio was De Lane Lea Music in
Kingsway and the timing was magic. Within a few weeks of starting, he worked as
assistant on the legendary Jimi Hendrix record, "Hey Joe". Very soon after that
the likes of the Who, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and
practically all of Mickie Most's artists went through the doors of the studio
giving Mike a very memorable start in a career in sound recording. Working for
the next 18 years as a staff and freelance music recording engineer in various
studios in the UK and Europe recording everything from rock to orchestral and
film music, the time came to make a move to TV and film sound. This started off
mainly for BBC TV through one of the corporation's main facility resources,
Finepoint Broadcast. Then he moved on to develop a large and varied client
base working on TV drama, feature films, commercials and documentaries. Today
Mike works from his base in Spain for companies throughout the World and travels
extensively.
