Hi my name is Mick Burrows and I am an acoustic singer songwriter, I live in Wolverhampton in the West Midlands and play in Acoustic clubs in that area, I have also played at clubs in East Sussex and Kent.
I have just finished recording my first CD, which has been received very well, it has eight original tracks and four cover songs.
I really love the acoustic guitar and have had many over the years! some I wish I still had! Others shall not be mentioned!Band/artist history
My history is that I have always loved playing and singing and began performing when I was at Avery Hill College training to be an Art teacher in 1972! It was a great place to be in the Seventies in South East London and I met many talented people and made some wonderful friends, amongst them the comedians Hale & Pace, the band The Late Show, they had 2 top 50 hits and played on TOTP's twice! Good guys!
So I have played ever since and loved every minute of it! Especially as I have now taken early-retirement and made my first CD, All at Sea.Have you performed in front of an audience?As mentioned above I play live 4 nights a week! Love it! Every moment is special in it's own way! The 'ommer and chain spoken word & music club in Cradley Heath was great! Thanks Brian & Loz!
