Just got this communication, I am too upset to add anything more at the moment, other than to say I will miss him. A lovely guy and a great great guitarist. Rest in Peace Mick,
Jim
It is with the greatest of sorrow that I have to inform you all that my father, Mick Green, has this morning (11th Jan 2010) passed away. My dad will be deeply missed by his family, friends and fans around the world. He inspired and dazzled with his amazing talent and his sharp personality and wit. His spirit will continue to live on through his music. Thank you all for your support and thoughts.
Brad Green

Sad news indeed.
Your music entertained a lot of people through the years from Brian Kid and the Pirates, through to the Van Morrison Band.
R.I.P. Mick

I am very upset to learn of this. I never saw Mick play but I know that he was one of the true greats of British guitar players.
R.I.P. Mick, and condolences to his family and friends.

Sad news - although I'm not familiar with Mick's later work, he was influential to me in his early days (Johnny Kidd, then The Dakotas). I was fortunate to see him with Johnny Kidd & The Pirates on a package tour at Kingston circa '63. Fabulous player.
My condolences to his family.
Chas.

Terrible news.
Mick was a guitarist that inspired millions of others to start playing - my brother being one of them.
His style always reminded me a bit of Keith Richards: solid, chunky rhythms and power chords to turn even a simple 3-minute pop song into a masterclass of rock guitar playing.
Anybody who wants to know more about this giant of a player need look no more than his work with Johnny Kidd, to name but one.
R.I.P Mick. Condolences to your family and the many many friends you have made in the industry.

Hi Brad,
So sorry about your dad I met him loads of times in the 60's - 70's he also produced my band in the mid 70's.
My sincere condolences.
Watty Robertson..

I've just seen this news as not been on the site for a couple of days. Very sad indeed and my condolences go out to Mick's family.
I love his work with The Pirates and am mesmerised by some of his playing. His legacy will certainly live on .

I am so saddened by this news. I had not heard about it until now.
I remember Mick well from the Pirates and the Dakotas. I always thought his guitar style was marvelous. Even now when I play those old tunes it inspires me to play.
Can anyone confirm if it was Mick Green that played lead on The Cruel Sea.? Its a number I have not played but will learn and play it as a tribute to Mick.
All the best
George.
