   About Mike Wilgar Blues Band
  Playing blues harp from the tender age of nine Mike didn’t hit the stage until a guest appearance with local blues and folk legend Murray McDowell 2003 with in a week Mike was asked to make a guest appearance with Rab McCullough in the Belfast Empire music hall. Word soon spread throughout the Northern Ireland blues scene and Mike received several offers from various blues bands . He took on a few part time rolls with some of these bands Namely ” Legal Tender” and “Keep Err Lit” in order to gain stage experience, meanwhile Mike was invited by Murray McDowell to form a new band with him, Mike named the band “TEN FEET DEEP” with Murray on vocals and Mike on blues harp ,Ryan Ferris joined as lead guitarist and John Hammel on bass. A surprise addition to the line up was Keith Semple a multi talented individual who had achieved fame on the POP IDOL television show Keith was to take the roll as drummer and second vocalist although he can be heard playing guitar and keys on some of the bands studio recordings. Mike also took up a part time roll with “The Rab McCullough Band” Rab had achieved success with a No 1 Album in the French blues charts and also in the USA were he won several awards and also had chart success with his albums. Mike still plays the with Rab when possible. After “TEN FEET DEEP” members decided to go their separate ways Mike formed a band with a selection of talented musicians the drummer was Paul McCusker he named the band “THE FUN_DA_MENTALS” Mike brought guitarist Andy Finlay and vocalist Warren Boyd to their first band experience bass players can some times be hard to find so an add in the local paper soon brought a result Joe Mahwinie filled the roll perfectly. The Fundamentals were a more funk orientated band and lasted for about a year when mike left to form the MIKE WILGAR BAND he wanted to concentrate on his own brand of blues and rock with hard driven blues harp and guitar. AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HE HAS DONE !..................................................... " ................................................................

hey everybody guess what, theWUN is up and running at our homepage and waiting for you to join us there, i intend for these forums to remain open and active as long as myspace doesn't bother them, but we've finally got a center of operations which isn't on Myspace, and i say thank God for that. Please tell your friends, as Myspace might just delete us before i get to even tell all of ours, you never know and that's the problem with Myspace

P.S. Its going to take me almost 2 months (!) to invite all of our friends from myspace to this new place, so i would very much appreciate you taking time to sign up @ WorldUnificationNetwork. org just so its easier to contact you, we're not very much of a network without you!
P.S.S. That also means that once i've invited everyone i'm going to assume that if you want to keep updated about what we're doing then you'll join us because it litterally takes forever (well it feels like it) to contact you all the "old fashioned" aka myspace way...
P.S.
AGAIN this was supposed to be a message and not a comment, but myspace maxed me for the day! (400 is my "quota")
