[Gd10034]

[old65rocker]

Where have I been for the last 50 odd years to have missed such a talent.

[mikeystrafford]

I went to school with Mick and used to watch him play at The Mont Merence Club in Cardiff. He was Tom Jones lead guitarist when the band was called Tommy Scott and the Senators, later changed to Tom Jones and The Squires. R.I.P mate.

my father cal ford was a good friend of mickeys and used to take me to his home in cardiff in the early 80's where i'd listen to them both having a jamming session. those were good days although i never picked a guitar up. maybe i should have. i would have had two of the best teachers in wales.. rip mick

[whitefalcon64]

I had no idea Mickey passed away. What a lost for the music world !!! I saw him for the 1st time in 1986 and I became really impressed. R.I.P. Mickey

[mikeystrafford]

Mickey is a fantastic picker. Was on Dave's stuff, Shaky's stuff and did some on his own i believe. Wasn't this called Pick Axe Rag??

Mikey xx

[transtherm]

Mickey was a true King of the Tele.I recorded him in the studio many times and he would lend me his Merl Travis records to show me where he first got inspired.

RIP Mickey.

[GuitarEkket86]

is this Shakin Stevens guitarist?

[Grads190]

Yes.

[easyTaff]

Yes, though Albert Lee recorded with Shaky as well. Nothing to choose between them as far as virtuosity is concerned. RIP Mickey.

[robbenford]

RIP Top Tele Twanger!

[CNicol40]

What a brilliant musician, so sorry to hear of his passing. Perhaps he didn't get the recognition he deserved and we are only now appreciating how good he was.

[Bellyflops2]

[hcaliforniagirl]

Wow you really played good......so sorry I have never heard of you before I just read of your passing R.I.P. Mickey.....

[gren1961]

R.I.P Mickey, Wales has lost one of it's most talented guitarists, who was just as happy playing with super groups, as playing gigs around Cardiif as the Rackateers or the Memphis Benders.

So glad I seen him play. Hope the BBC will repeat the 1999

[wonkeywombat]

[mikeystrafford]

I Think I have a single of this song with DE & MG - isn't it called pick Axe Rag?

Mikeyxx

[OnkelOtto7]

I saw Micky playing this regularly in the Royal Oak in Cardiff. Great guitarist. I met Andy Fairweather-Lowe once when I was minding Tim Nicolai's guitar shop. He came and asked if he could try out a few guitars, I wassn't sure whether to let him, but Tim came out, and said that's Andy Fairweather-Lowe you nut - of course he can! So he gave a mini-gig in the shop.

[mcbump]

two of the greatest guitar pickers I've ever seen upclose.had some of the best times seeing the dave edmunds band back in the 80's.one year I saw them 5 times in ten days.I was young.

[easyTaff]

Three of the best I would say. Andy Fairweather Low is a brilliant guitarist.

[mcbump]

so true and a great slide player, and he can sing too.but I've never seen him live.

[easyTaff]

That's a shame. I have seen him live three times in last two years and he is brilliant.Even does some of the old Amen Corner stuff. His tour dates are on his web site. Try and get to see him you will not be disappointed. All the best, easyTaff.

[xkeysyouth]

my brother in laws brother,he is a great guy

[RevDarkman]

wales's finest guitar picker!

I have this whole concert on VHS - wish I had a player!

[easyTaff]

Have a player....wish I had the VHS!

[dafsaer]

I wish they'd put it on dvd.
