Mike Nicholls played trumpet at school but was sacked from the school orchestra for wanting to play jazz and forced to hand his trumpet back.
After various engineering jobs mike returned to the trumpet
at age 27 and soon became
a well known figure on the local jazz club and big band circuit in Taunton
and Exeter.
A post graduate course at the Guildhall School of Music in London led
to touring theatre work, musical shows, cruise work and appearances with
various groups covering a multitude of styles from Reggae to Traditional
Jazz.
Mike now plays regularly for a number of ensembles and is happy to play anything musical.
Actually Mike is happy to play anything!
Actually Mike is just happy generally...
