This is intended to be a homage to very many musicians I've loved since I started listening to music. My intention is to tell what I know about them, hoping that those people who like them too, will help me fill numerous gaps, which I may have in their careers and discographies. Sorry, but there are no MP3 audio files here at all, just info (and love for the musicians).

Mick Softley (vocals / guitar)

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY:

Great singer and songwriter, Mick Softley was born Michael Softley on September 26th, 1939, in South Woodford, Essex, England.

His songs were admired by some of his mates, such as Donovan, who made covers of some of Softley´s songs. His first album (Songs for swingin´ survivors) is mostly folk, but he also used (great) rock musicians to back him in his later albums.

Mick Softley formed briefly a band, Soft Cloud, but he preferred performing alone.

He sadly passed away on September 1st, 2017, in Ireland.
