About Mike Hurst

I was a member of 60s pop group The Springfields allong with Dusty and brother Tom. We were the first British group to have a top 10 record in the USA. After we disbanded I formed a group with Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) and then became a record producer. I disocovered Marc Bolan and Cat Stevens, and subsequently produced 50 hit records with them, also Manfred Mann, The Move, Showaddywaddy, Shakin Stevens and many more. I began lecturing on the history of popular music from the middle ages to the present day, having had a book published called Every Song Tells A Story, I have been a lecturer for 20 years, for WIs, U3As and schools and colleges.
