Mike59 Group: Members Posts: 9 Joined: May 2012 Posted: Sep. 09 2017, 06:02 Just wondering if Mike is alright, hurricane wise... Back to top

Sweep Group: Members Posts: 61 Joined: Sep. 2011 Posted: Sep. 09 2017, 20:49 Yes, I was wondering the same thing, and a bit surprised there were no comments. Presumably nobody knows anything. -------------- Website@: http://www.musicbysweep.com Twitter: sweep1 Bradnor Hill (in memory of David Bedford): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKeATjaMCgA Back to top

qjamesfloyd Group: Members Posts: 1357 Joined: April 2001 Posted: Sep. 11 2017, 11:12 I was wondering about Mike too. No news at all about him has been released, which is odd. Richard Branson and his Necker Island took it really bad though!! Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Sep. 17 2017, 06:46 Does Mike stay just outside Nassau? I think the worst of the hurricane past it by thankfully. He seems to have gone quiet again on Facebook but I don't hugely keep up to date on all the Facebook groups. Is there not about 3 or 4 of them now? I don't even know how many I'm a member of.

Sweep Group: Members Posts: 61 Joined: Sep. 2011 Posted: Sep. 17 2017, 06:59 I had a look at the news reports last night. It wasn't clear, but it looked like Mike's area was spared the worst of it - assuming I'm right that he's in Antigua somewhere? -------------- Website@: http://www.musicbysweep.com Twitter: sweep1 Bradnor Hill (in memory of David Bedford): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKeATjaMCgA Back to top

Bradnorman Group: Members Posts: 142 Joined: Oct. 2011 Posted: Sep. 17 2017, 15:13 He lives on New Providence in the Bahamas,  just outside Nassau. I gather that the hurricane passed to the south of the archipelago and didn't cause much damage there. -------------- ‘Is my team ploughing,    'That I was used to drive   And hear the harness jingle    When I was man alive?'

Sweep Group: Members Posts: 61 Joined: Sep. 2011 Posted: Sep. 17 2017, 19:49 Thanks for that. It's good to hear something more definite. Good, too, of course, to know some areas were less heavily affected, quite apart from Mike's presence there. It's been bad for so many people in that part of the world. -------------- Website@: http://www.musicbysweep.com Twitter: sweep1 Bradnor Hill (in memory of David Bedford): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKeATjaMCgA Back to top

Mike59 Group: Members Posts: 9 Joined: May 2012 Posted: Sep. 20 2017, 15:37 Sadly, it looks as though things are not improving... I sincerely hope that things get better soon for the people in that part of the world. Back to top

qjamesfloyd Group: Members Posts: 1357 Joined: April 2001 Posted: Sep. 23 2017, 04:37 Maybe it's time for Mike to move again, he usually gets restless after a number of years in the same place. Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Sep. 24 2017, 14:46 Didn't Mike say in a recent interview that he's just taken full citizenship of the Bahamas? Sounds like he's finally found somewhere he wants to stay for good. With all thats happening in Europe and around the world I think I'd stay there if I was him, even with the hurricanes.   Back to top

Othy1955 Group: Members Posts: 1 Joined: Sep. 2017 Posted: Sep. 27 2017, 14:21 oh poor people... so glad hurricane's aren't reaching my location... i'm an anxious person who always searches for rx coupons because i need so many meds that i don't have money for them. but if would know that there's a risk of hurricane in my location then i would completely lose my mind! all the support to people who had to endure the hurricane's angriness.

cAveMan Group: Members Posts: 54 Joined: Sep. 2005 Posted: Oct. 11 2017, 04:22 I see the news about Mike these days is very scarce. I wonder why he's gone under the radar? He used to be very active on Facebook (he was the only reason why I used Facebook actually). Is ti only because he's grown tired of social media? I haven't seen him post on FB since that check-in at the Nasau Hospital, which was soon deleted. I wonder if anyone got any info on that? Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Oct. 14 2017, 05:35 He 'liked' a post the other day on Facebook from the TB for Two guys so he's still around. If he's got other things going on in his life and no news to share then I wouldn't expect to hear much from him. The problem for someone in Mike's position as far as social media is concerned is that once you start using it and engaging with it people expect you to keep it going. I think anyone who has followed Mike's career long enough will tell you his enthusiasm for things comes and goes with the tide. As it does for most of us I guess. Back to top
