​​​​​January 2025
Dear fans and friends
Belated Happy New Year to you all. I hope you are all safe and well.
It´s been a strange few years, but now I´m starting to surface, though definitely not all the way, but enough to keep myself and most of my lovely friends and fans happy!
Apart from the one off trips I´ve been making across Europe with festivals mostly in France with my good buddies The Drew Davies Rhythm Combo, I have now started to gather up some shows for future return trips to the UK as well.
What I am most excited about is that I will soon have a brand new album for you, featuring myself with The Drew Davies Rhythm Combo and featuring the mighty Big Boy Bloater on guitar.
The album currently under the title of HEY NOW, is being scheduled to release during May 2025 in time for all the Summer shows around the UK and Europe. I will have plenty of info coming up soon on it´s release and further live shows confirmed throughout the year.
Friends, I know I´ve not been the most reliable in keeping in touch, or posting regularly, or replying to questions and comments either on here or throughout my social media. Please accept my apologies! I can at times be much slower than a slug, but even if it takes me years, I will somehow get there!
So, do please visit my tour dates page as I´ve always done my best to keep that page updated if nothing else.
Below I post some flyers of shows that are coming in, starting with the UK tour, a tour involving my 6 piece, also my 4 piece (The Portions) and a couple of exclusive solo piano evenings.
Let´s have some fun this year:
See you all soon. Love, Mike

Below is the last post I left on here, just to show you how long ago it was.
Must´ve been into the first year of the pandemic!
I've been entertaining people for over 35 years.
As a job and a way of life, it's all I know!
With the world as it is today, I am now having to 'move with the times' and 'go digital', as they say.
Almost four decades of being on the road, travelling around the world, performing everywhere from large festivals and regular live venues, through to private weddings and large functions for royalty, sharing decades of friendship with my dear musician buddies, memorable times with many rock legends, and more importantly, giving pleasure to thousands of people, each and every year.
I am now having to re-think and re-organize my business in such a way, so that I can continue entertaining all the friends & fans that I have made over the years and continue making new ones too.
I recently launched my new Patreon which will do just that.
​
This 'lock down' has given me the opportunity to dig out a life of forgotten memorabilia, photos, records, old cassettes and CDs. There is so much that I would love to share with you, that I know you would enjoy.
From my crazy life of music, all my influences and my great memories, on stage and off stage and the honour of meeting some of the greatest names in the business.
I'll be sharing my passion for rock 'n' roll, rhythm & blues, rockabilly, piano boogie woogie and a world of blues, soul and jazz, including a one hour radio show titled 'The Sanch Shack' where I'll be playing some of my favorite artists.​
I'll also be reading you my authorized biography 'Big Town Playboy' by Michael Madden, which will be available as an mp3 download.​

I hope to see you all there. x
