Mick Pini has played in this region for some time now and over the past couple of years his gigs have sold out. So they should! Fantastic, fabulous, sublime, mind boggling and any other superlatives in the book will do to describe Mick's playing. This really is blues guitar heaven with Mick playing as sweetly as you would expect from any top class musician. Having promoted Mick Pini on several occasions, we can rightly confirm that he is an outstanding guitarist and one of the best you will ever see. Mick Pini is inventive, versatile, dynamic and in a class of his own. No copy-cat parrot of a guitarist trying to sound like Peter Green or Eric Clapton, Mick Pini is the real thing. He can be a bit wild, or so soft your toes will curl double, but importantly he gives 100% commitment - extremely refreshing. What the experts say about the Mick Pini Band ..... As well as touring Europe with B.B. King and supporting such blues greats as Buddy Guy and Jimmy Rogers: Mick Pini has earned himself a strong following across Europe. Eric Clapton described him in 1996 as ‘The legitimate successor to Peter Green’. However, Mick Pini is unquestionably a unique talent in his own right. His authentic voice and outstanding guitar work personifies the blues in an inimitable way. Mick has toured the world for over 30 years and has never had a day job. He lives, breathes, plays and sings the blues with genuine passion …. even his 1954 Fender Stratocaster smokes! 1997 saw The Mick Pini Band really gain great recognition in Europe, taking in tours through Austria, Switzerland and Mick’s new home, Germany. It was here that the album ‘Ain’t no Foolin’ was produced. The album contains 6 studio and 6 live tracks. Anyone familiar with the band’s electric live performances will be only too aware of the awesome power, groove and feel of this band. 1998 saw the band touring more extensively than ever. The year began with an enormously successful five week European tour during which the band won the prestigious ‘Blues Band of the Month’ award at ‘Talkin Blues’ in Cologne. In January 1999 the band recorded their definitive album ‘Blues Gonna Be My Way’. It sees the most welcome return of Mike Vernon as producer. Mike produced Mick’s ‘Wildman’ album in 1989 featuring A.B. Burns, Chris Youlden and Paul Jones. Pini Credits .....
