"Couldn't put the book down, a page-turner from cover to cover...
Michael Madden's attention to detail is outstanding, he manages to
cram the book full of detailed, year on year accounts whilst at the
same time keeping the pace going. The inclusion of chapter 12;
'Mike on Music' provides a wonderful insight into Mike's
understanding of musical history and into his extensive repertoire.
For anyone who has, like myself, ever wondered why Mike Sanchez has
never been given the extensive spotlight of other so called 'niche
artists' such as Jools Holland or Jamie Cullum, Big Town Playboy
delivers a superb insight into the life and times of the man
himself. This book could easily be used as a textbook on how to
make a living and a legacy in the music business outside of the
mainstream. Five stars all week and twice on Sunday." Louise

Mike Sanchez would have invented rocknroll if no one else had
bothered Mark Lamarr
He is our Little Richard, with a bit of Jerry Lee Lewis thrown in
Jeff Beck
People who see him never forget him Albert Lee
What other people were doing in the studio, he did on the stage,
and he did it fantastically well Bill Wyman
Mike has got that natural talent. Like John McEnroe at tennis or
David Beckham at football, Mike has that on piano Andy
Fairweather-Low
Hes a great singer, musician and songwriter, and a brilliant
entertainer Imelda May
Mike Sanchez deserves the best because he is the best Rick Vito
"It certainly rings true to my few experiences of meeting Mike as
the impression given here is exactly what I felt: that the
wonddefully manic firebrand on stage was a quiet, sy gentleman off
it." - Pete Bowen, Now Dig This, July 2014
