I knew Mike whilst we served in the british army stationed in Beilefeld Germany, MIke run a group called the tuxedos whilst i played in a group called the Demons, I filled in for their drummer Stix Wood on a couple of occasions, Even then Mike was an incredible musician and could play just about every instrument known. He left Germany in 1964.
whilst the Demons were taking a break during one of our gigs, the juke box was playing "Go
Now" someone then told us " your friend Mike Pinder is no. 1 now" with the Moody Blues, we had not heard about him forming the band but we were not surprised to hear of his success.
A great guy who is immensly talented!
