The Blue Walnut

We are very sad to let all friends and musicians know that Mike died peacefully at his home on the evening of Monday 5th April. Mike had pancreatic cancer and fought this positively for some months whilst recording his album Milonga. It was a great comfort to Mike over the last few weeks and days to hear how well received his album has been and to receive the many best wishes he did from friends and musician quite literally across the world (and this has included world renowned musicians who recognised the value of Mike's musical work).

In his last few weeks Mike was amazed at the number of new listeners to his music and he was very grateful for your kind comments. We hope that his wonderful recordings and music will remain an inspiration to all in the future and we will continue to promote Mike's album Milonga as all proceeds will go to Cancer Research UK. We have uploaded a full version of the album track called Julia Florida in the Listen section of his website which really does reflect the mood of the moment for those of you who might want to remember Mike for a few minutes whilst listening to his wonderful playing.

Please do leave a message on Mike's Guest Book if you have enjoyed Mike's music and/or knew him. Please use the view website link to go to Mike's site for his music and his guest book.
