Michael Squire was born and brought up in Bromley, Kent, where he started listening to David Bowie and the Rolling Stones, Elvis Costello and new wave bands plus the great singer/songwriters including Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. He started writing and playing in bands in the early 1980s. Music projects in recent years include the folk duo Higher Plane and an occasional band The Mike Squire Collective. In his writing he likes to focus on lyrics that tell stories, sometimes tall or imagined, occasionally true.

Stony Stratford Mummers
Stony Stratford Mummers was formed when a group of dedicated folkies decided that they would entertain those in the local hostelries at Christmas time. A group of friends went round the pubs singing Christmas Carols and one year late they decided to perform a Mummers play. It was in the year 1973 that Stony Stratford Mummers was born. Apart from a one year break in the late 1980’s Stony Mummers have performed every year since its inception. Their performance schedule in the winter always starts when the town holds its annual ‘Switching on of the Lights’ celebration which heralds the start of the winter festivities at the end of November or beginning of December.
