// bio
Mike Brookfield started his career as a rock n roll guitarist in 1989 on the band scene around Liverpool & Manchester. By the late 1990’s he was performing in multiple musical shows in London’s West End. At the turn of the century he moved to Ireland and while acting as a Music Coordinator in RTE where he worked on shows and events such as The Café, the Meteor Music Awards, the Childline Concert and The Late Late Show, he performed with many well known international artists.
It was Mike’s second album, 'Love Breaks the Fall', in 2015 that got his solo career moving, attracting glowing reviews from the music press. ‘Brookfield' followed with more success in 2017 and featured lyrics by Horslip writer & journalist Eamon Carr. Mike graduated from Trinity college, Dublin with a first class M.phil in 2018. It was during this period of study in Trinity College that reignited his passion for contemporary composition.
'Hey Kiddo!', (2021) returned him to his rock n roll roots with an upbeat 12 track guitar instrumental album.
'Built To Last’, Mike’s fifth solo album of all original compositions is scheduled for for release mid 2022.
Mike is excited to be part of the first official ICC releases in 2022 with his pieces “Coloring' for Kate Ellis & ‘Rock Pools’ for the Offspring Ensemble.
