Mike Sanchez Biography

Mike Sanchez is one of the most popular and richest Pianist who was born on February 17, 1964 in London, England, United Kingdom. Jesus Miguel “Mike”, a British rhythm andblues singer, pianist, and songwriter of Spanish-English descent was born 17 February 1964. Sanchez is best known for his work as a solo artist and with Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings and Big Town Playboys. His charismatic stage presence and deep knowledge of the history, performers and rhythm and blues are what make him stand out.

The band performed a two-week stay at the Heartbreak Hotel in Ibiza in July 1985. John Wallace assumed a larger role in the band after Ricky Cool was unable travel.

In February 1985 Sanchez was electrocuted at a gig at the Grey Horse, Kingston upon Thames, when a loose connection in his amplifier formed a circuit with his guitar and microphone. Ricky Cool pulled the lead out of the amplifier to break the circuit, but Sanchez was hospitalised for several days. The incident became headline news in Time Out magazine and London based newspapers, and led to an interview with Stuart Colman on Radio London. Colman later produced the Crazy Legs album.

In November 1986 John Spinetto was replaced by Ed Mann of The Mighty Flyers who the Big Town Playboys met at the Peer International Blues Festival (Belgium) earlier in the year. John Wallace was replaced on saxophone by Frank Mead from Juice on the Loose who was introduced to the band by Gary Brooker.

The band toured the UK in August 1985 with Little Willie Littlefield. Sanchez and Littlefield became friends later.
