Mike Hall's autobiography is now available to purchase on Amazon. It is entitled Before Midnight and covers the period up to 1985 when he formed After Midnight after being inspired by Eric Clapton's performance at Live Aid. It covers the early part of Mike's life, growing up in Durham, where he developed a love for music and in particular the guitar. His desire to perform was fired by watching numerous bands in the 60s and 70s including the Beatles, Free, Cream and Eric Clapton. To purchase the book you can go to Amazon books and search for "Mike Hall Before Midnight" (Paperback GBP 14.99, Kindle GBP 4.99). It will also be available to purchase at our forthcoming gigs. We hope you will enjoy it.
