Guest Book & Fans' comments

Hi Mike,
I am a Japanese person who live in London. I bought 2 tickets for Silver 60s show to see you! (Manchester and Watford!!) I look forward to that very much! Please sign my original vinyl of Meet The Searchers! I have one question, what is your No.1 Beatles song?
Kind Regards,
Shuji

Happy new year! Haven't seen you since the nineties at North Sydney Leagues Club, when you came over to our table to say hello after a show...... Not sure the Club still operates as i have lived in New Zealand for fifteen years with my Partner Sheryl.

Any plans to play in N.Z? Haven't seen May for donkeys years - Hello there!!

Cheers from Ray

Your cousin Marguerita Woods sends her love to you Mike x

First time I saw you was in the Fiesta night club, in Norton, Stockton on Tees,1968/9 loved you then and you have never changed and love you now, great man, great music :)

My thoughts about Mike's book he tells you about his life as a little lad in Liverpool until he reached the top in the 1960's and up to the present time. He is a very ordinary nice man not like a lot of the stars of today and earlier years. He has written the book in a very honestway regarding the mix up as I would like to put it with the other Searchers.

He comes across as a family man which a lot of celebs don't. Also he has never given up is love for music even in the slack times in the 70's then the best thing he did was start his own band MPS. He is also very popular in America but he never forgets his fans at home, and puts himself out to speak to fans such as myself I could never imagine I would see him at the Savoy Hotel at Blackpool after all those years.

Hi. Hope you all had a lovely xmas. A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE AND GOOD HEALTH FOR THE FUTURE. HOPE TO SEE YOU WHEN YOU ARE NEXT AT SKEGNESS. LOVE JANE X

Hi Nigel

Thank you for your comments on my Book. It's good to get what sounds like an honest view from someone I've never met (at least I don't think I have) I hope there will be others who give their honest opinions and not sit on the fence as it were! An honest opinion is always better than a loyal opinion as loyalty is often guilty of misrepresenting the truth.

Mike's book is an excellent read. His story deserved to be told. It is especially interesting on the origins and early years of The Searchers. And, without taking sides, on the split from the original band. For me, and many fans I suspect, it is a shame that musically the split happened.

I would like to wish all the Fans a very happy christmas and a peaceful,happy and successful new year.
A special thanks to all those long standing fan club memebers who continue to support Mike and the band and this web site. For those of you have not yet purchased a copy of Mike's book please get in touch because it makes a super Christmas present to a friend or partner or even a present for yourself - and why not - you deserve it! Best wishes Roger

Have just finished reading your book really enjoyed it and the part about the lady who has not seen you for 46yrs. It has really cheered us up as my husband is fighting cancer at the moment. Hope to see you next year Merry Xmas to you and your family.
