Mike Rimmington and Friends

2015/16 I'm recording/performing material from the album 'Got to keep on Walking', which is a collection of songs about the UK walking author Alfred Wainwright, available via http://www.mikerimmington.co.uk/

Revolution

Myself and Chuck Elliot (SHU) wrote and produced the song ‘If I can’t dance (I won’t join your revolution’) - hear it on MP3 now.

My Bands

I have played in several bands (guitar, harp, sax). Just list key words and names here for search purposes.
