Mick is a fascinating character with a wealth of show business experience. In the 60’s he worked in various bands such as The Redcaps playing bass and gradually introducing his own brand of stand-up comedy into the shows. In 1966 Mick managed Birmingham’s famous “Rum Runner Club” where he produced and presented shows with such artists as Tom Jones, The Everly Brothers, Chuck Berry and Lulu to name but a few. In 1969 Mick formed his own Comedy Jazz Trio doing a 10-month season at the Pigalle Club in London’s Piccadilly and then touring the British Cabaret Circuit. During this time, due to is long standing interest and participation in Amateur Boxing, Mick started to fit in film and T.V. stunt work whenever possible. |

on the Cruise Liner Q.E.ll, which sailed from New York to the Caribbean,
the trio returned to Britain where upon Mick suffered serious injuries
falling from a cliff in the North of England, and the act broke up.

and production industry in England and Europe and eventually South America,
where he spent 2 years based in Bogotá Columbia. He returned
to England in 1976 and began working for John Reid Enterprises as personal
bodyguard for Elton John, Freddie Mercury and Kiki Dee. Mick moved to
