Mike Cardy

Bio:
I started playing guitar in high school at 13 years and by fifteen was playing bass and guitar in heavy metal cover bands around Perth. ..... A few years later, after my marriage and the arrival of a family I moved away from gigging as work and family priorities took precedence, but continued to play and develop my song writing and playing skills. During this time I concentrated on playing acoustic guitar, with a wide range of influences including Jimmy Page, Neil Young and in later years Mark Knopfler. ...... I started gigging again in the late 1990s through open mic nights and at private functions and pubs. ...... I play a number of guitars on stage and, through the different guitar construction, string types, tunings and playing styles, aim to deliver a unique range and variety of material. ...... I released my first CD in 2002, "Stories from the City Live", a compilation of live recordings. My second CD, "Smiling on The Inside", was released in August 2005. T
