Mike plays with Lonesome Gods (Americana/Country), signed to Animal House Records. Their eponymous album Lonesome Gods came out in October 2020. They are about to release their second Heart Full of Sectrets and a Hotel Room. 

Mike plays guitar with the Queen has Two Heads, who' s debut EP, Ready to Go, was released in late 2018. Originally a nine piece they slimmed down to a four piece and have gone in a rockier direction. They released an EP Tell it Proud in Oct 2024 and are releasing an album in the new year. 

Mike is part of folk/ Americana/ electronica duo Manna, with Anna Reuben, who have released two albums on Nub Country records Vol1 and Kings Heath Nights. They are currently recording their third album.

More recently Mike has been writing and co-writing spoken word pieces. This includes 'One Clear Mind' a recording with Kostas Bechlos (Told Americans, Dr Schwamp) featuring renowned free jazz sax player Bruce Coates. It is taken from a novel that Mike wrote about his experiences of working with homeless people over 25 years ago - the novel was abandoned, but at the start of each chapter was a rant based on characters Mike had met and worked with - these are these rants, still relevant today - difficult to hear, often misanthropic, narcissistic and challenging, but nevertheless one 'clear mind'. He released another spoken word dance album 'Normality is a Pathology', in Autumn 2024.  This project examines and questions everyday constructions of normality from gender to sexuality to alcoholism and what we mean by mental health.
