In 2016, he was asked to work alongside the international brand CREAM as their sax and keys player for the CREAM CLASSICS tour in 2016-2019 with K-Klass and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
A musician from the age of 10, he went onto study at the prestigious Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, where he now works as a part time lecturer.
His diverse and wide ranging experience have given him kudos amongst his peers and he has become one of the most sought after sax players in his price range.
Mike has several of his own albums out on the ‘Ameritz’ record label under his brand name of gingertunes.
