About Mike Evans

On leaving school in 1969, Mike embarked on a performing career in music - touring, recording and broadcasting extensively in the UK and Europe, embracing many disparate fields of music from folk through rock to jazz as well as mainstream classical forms. Since graduating in 1980 with a 1st Class Honours degree in music, he has combined performance - from fiddle tunes to violin concertos - with the teaching of the violin.

Mike’s musical career includes opening the 1st Glastonbury Festival in 1971 and recording with George Martin with iconic rock band Stackridge. He spent 8 years leading the Pump Room Trio in Bath and led the Georgian Festival Orchestra. He has his own band that performs Ceilidh, Hillbilly Hoedown, Gypsy Jazz and Klezmer for weddings and parties.
