Pet Shop Boys Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe are the most successful duo in UK music history. Since signing to Parlophone Records in 1985, they have achieved 42 Top 30 singles in the UK including 22 Top 10 hits and four number ones, West End Girls, It’s A Sin, Always On My Mind, and Heart.

Pet Shop Boys have toured extensively over the last year and have seen their music embraced by new generations of music fans around the world. Their Glastonbury Other Stage headline slot received rave reviews everywhere, with The Guardian deeming it “simply one of the best collections of songs in the whole of pop music”, while The Independent called it “a life-affirming, era-straddling set.”

Rolling Stone UK added to the praise, stating the slot was “a spectacular, hits-packed showcase, one that underscored that Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe are behind some of Britain’s finest ever pop songs.” 

Mike began his career at factory records in the early 1980’s as an A&R man signing Happy Mondays and James as well as working at the legendary Hacienda club from its opening in 1982 for 11 years as the booker and DJ. He went on to create the NUDE night on Fridays, which pioneered house music in the UK, as well as the Wednesday HOT night.

In the 90’s his label Deconstruction took dance music to the charts having massive hits with Black Box, Guru Josh, K Klass, Felix and Kyle Minogue as well as his own new band Mpeople with many of the hits starting in the Hacienda DJ booth. Mpeople went on to sell 14 million albums and countless hit singles whilst selling out arenas around the world. 

Mike still DJ’s and recently was involved in the Hacienda Classical concerts which included a performance on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury to open the festival.
