He’s toured the world with John Cooper Clarke for 15 years, and worked with the likes of New Order, Philip Glass, Orbital and Joe Duddell. Mike’s performances are unforgettable. His voice is a musical instrument and his words are strings oscillating. He has worked with The Cassia String Quartet for 10 years and released their first album last year.
