Sax on the Street’ (Mike Irving)
Mike has been playing guitar and saxes in the Congleton band ‘The Extractions’ for over thirty years and is now also doing solo work as ‘Sax on the Street’. Mike has greatly extended his repertoire over the last couple of years playing with the aim of entertaining to raising money for charity. Although Mike’s roots are firmly in 70’s rock and roll he plays a very broad repertoire from Van Morrison to Chappell Roan and the Scissor Sisters plus some other cheeky numbers. Mike would love to see you there!
