Mike Stobbie

Mike is a UK-based accomplished composer, producer and keyboardist. His wide variety of work ranges from rock and pop (Natalie Imbruglia, Jack Savoretti, Alex James of Blur, Betty Boo, Robbie Craig and John Wetton) to programming West End shows (Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats, Chess, Phantom of The Opera and The Sound of Music, Cameron MacKintosh’s Les Miserables, Mary Poppins and Miss Saigon, Trevor Lawrence’s Porgy and Bess and Victoria Wood and Julie Walters' Acorn Antiques). Mike has worked in the classical music field with the London Brompton Oratory Choir and has also written extensively for TV, film and advertising companies. Mike is an old friend of Audio Network and was one of the first composers to join the company. He is also a founder shareholder in the company. Mike lost part of his arm due to a serious attack of the flesh-eating bug necrotising fasciitis. [a858643], the band which featured Mike's early work, compiled some download albums to help raise funds for Mike's non-NHS treatment. The aim of these albums was to generate enough money to allow Mike to undergo groundbreaking surgery to provide him with a bionic hand to enable him to return to composing and performing.
