Michael “Mick” Green
February 22, 1944 – January 11, 2010
Mick Green was an English guitarist and songwriter who came to prominence as lead guitarist for Johnny Kidd & the Pirates during the ’60s. The band is considered one of the foundations of garage rock, with their “Shakin’ All Over” being a rock music staple which has been covered by the likes of the Guess Who and the Who. In 1964, Green left the group and resurfaced as a member of popular Mersey Beat/British Invasion band, Billy J. Kramer & the Dakotas. In later years, he played guitar for the likes of Van Morrison, Paul McCartney, and Bryan Ferry. Mick Green was 65 when he passed away on January 11, 2010.
