“There are two qualities (amongst many) that stand out to me about Michael's voice: (firstly his) fearless approach to the difficulties of the music, whether he is singing Queen - where the highs and lows are no barrier, or his own compositions. The second is the clarity of his voice. Careful use of vibrato adds to the emotional sense of the music and you can hear every word clearly.“
- Peter Freestone (Freddie Mercury‘s Personal Assistant)
“In a world full of auto-tuned bots... it's so good to hear a proper singer.
Such a rarity these days!”
- John Young (Lifesigns, Asia, Bonnie Tyler)
“I've listened to Michael's voice for countless hours over the last 15+ years, producing, recording (and) mixing dozens of songs with him. It never ceases to amaze me. He sings bone-crushing Metal, the most heartbreaking ballads and everything in between with the same passion and without losing his uniqueness. An outstanding singer, a gifted songwriter, a great person and an even greater friend.”
- Andy Brings (Musician, Producer, TV Celebrity)
“(It’s) great to see and hear another North East (UK) talent making his mark in music. Stick the album (It’s Not The Years… It’s The Mileage) on, and let it carry you away...”
- Dave Johns (I, Daniel Blake, Award winning Actor, Writer & Comedian)
“As two of the founding members of Prelude, Irene and I have know Michael for many years and as singers who appreciate melody and harmony we’ve always been big fans. He is one of those singers who can cross over genres effortlessly. He can rock out and then sound tender and poignant. Any group would be more than glad to have him as their main vocalist, not to mention his ability as a solo performer.”
- Brian Hume (Singer/Songwriter & Guitarist with Prelude)
