Hello and welcome to my website. It's all about my love of the guitar,
my kind of music - especially rock and blues - and my life revolving around
it.
I aim to keep you up to date with any new developments, and hope to share
with you some of my experiences both past and present. Watch this site!
Have fun,
Micky

Hi Folks,
I had an enjoyable time at the High Voltage festival where I joined Uriah
Heep on stage to play some slide guitar in their 'Demons and Wizards'
set. There might be more of the same!
Monsters of British Rock will be touring in November and December, but
we hope to see some of you before then! Please check the Dates section
on this site for more info or go to the band's website. Enjoy the rest
of the summer.

Hi Folks,
Seasons greetings and a healthy and prosperous New Year. I look forward
to sharing with you a number of new projects in the coming year (and beyond!).

Hi Folks,
I'm pleased to announce that my new album 'Electric Journeyman' is now
available for downloading. If you wish to download any of the tracks,
please go to official sources such as itunes, emusic, 7Digital, Play.com
etc. Please do not subscribe to that criminal collective known as 'pirates'.
They are illegal and do not pay the artist royalties. The CD is officially
released on July 24th and can be obtained directly from this website or
from Armadillo Music on bluearmadillo.com - happy listening!

Hi Folks,
It was great to hook up with Michael Schenker on the German ZDF TV show,
Fernsehgarten. Although the proceedings were somewhat bizzare, and an
ear infection reduced my aural powers to mono only, a good time was had
by all! It was good to meet up with Paul Carrack once again; we played
together in Frankie Miller's band many moons ago. Apologies to Andreas
for being unable to join him and the gang on the internet recording of
'Welcome To Europe' due to travel arrangements.
'Electric Journeyman' is now mixed and mastered and will be available
soon. Watch this space for details.
Don't forget to listen to the Paul Jones show at 7pm on Monday, May 18th
where I'll be joining Jimmy Copley in session with the rest of his band
on four songs.

Hi Folks,
I've managed to resist the temptation to hibernate by writing
and recording a new CD, 'Electric Journeyman'. It's an album of instrumental
guitar music which has been a pleasure to create and record. The project
is almost finished and should be available sometime in May.
Check out Vault - Video, there you will find videos of the Micky Moody
Band.
Watch this space for further
developments!

Hi Folks,
There is now another video track from
my 'Acoustic Journeyman' CD to accompany 'Rockerbilly Fury'. Go to Wynono's
Dance and watch 'it in glorious (and slightly surreal) technicolour!
Many thanks to Steve Barker for putting it together. Have a great Christmas
and best wishes for the New Year.

Hi Folks,
News of a new release! Micky Moody & Friends - Live And Rocking! is
now available and exclusive to this website. It's a recording of a live
show at the Hell Blues Festival, Norway in 2000, and features Neil Murray,
Don Airey, Bernie Marsden and John Lingwood, with cameo appearances by
the late Tony Ashton, Geraint Watkins and Gary Twigg. Guaranteed to get
you up and rocking, and small enough to fit into a Christmas stocking!
See details on the shop page.

Hi Folks,
Having made a conscious decision to cut down on public and corporate live
shows for the moment, it's always an exciting prospect to be involved
in something special. This year's Sunflower Jam on September 25th at the
Porchester Hall in London promises to be just that. I'll be sharing the
stage with Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson, Rick Wakeman from Yes, Amy Winehouse's
backing singers Zalon and Ade, Steve Balsamo from the Stories, and many
more talented performers including surprise guests. Deep Purple are headlining
and the maestro himself, Jon Lord, will be joining the band on stage.
It's going to be a memorable night!

Hi Folks,
I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Mel Galley. We played
together in Whitesnake back in 1983, and though I only saw him a few times
after that, I remember him as a talented guy with a a lot of soul. Rest
in peace, Mel.
You can now watch me playing Rockerbilly Fury from Acoustic Journeyman,
and please, check out the dancers! Go to Vault / Video and click on the
link there.

Hi Folks,
I had a great time in Japan as Jimmy Copley's special guest on his 'Slap
My Hand' promotional tour. Absolutely fabulous band (see section in Projects
- Micky And Friends), and look forward to doing the same again! Jimmy's
album is selling well over there and he is currently negotiating release
dates for other territories. At the moment I'm busy writing music for
Media purposes and find it very interesting, See you at the Herzberg Festival
on July 20th.

Hi Folks,
Many thanks to all aboard the recent Silja Rock Cruise in Scandanavia.
We had a rockin' good time and special thanks go out to Magnus, the event
organiser. Soon I'll be flying to Japan to perform there for the first
time in twenty five years! I'll be working with drummer Jimmy Copley and
Japanese guitar legend Char and his band on Jimmy's 'Slap My Hand' tour.
Needless to say, I'm really looking forward to it!
March 09, 2008
Hi Folks,
I'll be playing at the International Dealer’s Reception of the Frankfurt
Music Fair on Agora stage on Wednesday 12th March. Alongside me in “Rock
& Soul Unlimited” will be Neil Murray on bass, Jimmy Copley
on drums, Mel Collins on sax, Gav Conder on vocals and Helmut Zerlett
on Hammond organ.
Jimmy's album, “Slap My Hand”, will be released in Japan in
May, and I had the pleasure of performing on four tracks, including my
own composition, Down Home Boy. Jeff Beck, Char, Pino Palladino, Pete
Cox and Neil Murray are some of the star names featured on the album.
It's a real treat!

Hi Folks,
Well, it's that quiet January period, so I'm concentrating on song-writing
and future projects of which more later.
I'd like to take this opportunity to express my thoughts on the practise
of boot-legging. Most of us are aware of piracy; albums and DVD's recorded
and released without the artist's consent are illegal and an insult to
the integrity of the performer. The artist receives nothing by way of
payment for all his effort and hard work. DO NOT BUY THEM. Even the well-meaning
fan must always seek permission from the artist before recording or filming
any event. It makes little difference when these recordings can be downloaded
for free - they are still illegal. Circulation of such works will, somewhere
down the line, result in ruthless profiteering by others.

Hi Folks,
Nice to see some of you at the Roger Chapman gigs in Germany and at Roger's
Christmas show in Leicester. I'd like to take this opportunity to wish
you all a rocking Christmas and great New Year.

Hi Folks,
Thanks to everyone who came to my CD release party on the 20th. Apologies
for the slightly late start due to a late photo call. Thanks also to Ossi
for joining me on stage for the acoustic duet and muchas gracias to Tscharlie,
Andi and Olli for rocking out with me in the second half.
