Michael 'Mick' Softley (born 1941, in South Woodford, Essex) was a British singer/songwriter and guitarist. A figurehead during the British folk scene, Softley set up his own folk club, released seven albums and has been known to work with Mac MacLeod , Donovan Leitch and Maddy Prior.
' Any Mother Doesn't Grumble ' is a rare milestone of the British folk music!
Mick Softley was at the forefront of the folk revival scene of the early 1960s. Mick helped Donovan with guitar-picking styles when they were both involved with the folk club in The Cock pub in St Albans. Later, Donovan would record two of Mick’s songs ‘The War Drags On’ and ‘Goldwatch Blues’.
Recorded at The Manor in Oxfordshire and at Sound Techniques, Chelsea, musicians included Jerry Donahue (Fotheringay / Fairport Convention), Gerry Conway (Fotheringay), Pat Donaldson (Fotheringay), Barry de Souza (Curved Air) and Lyn Dobson (Manfred Mann / Soft Machine). • Produced by Tony Cox, talented keyboard player who played with Sandy Denny and Mike Heron.
“Disc and Music Echo” magazine probably captured the essence of this unique recording most succinctly when they reviewed the album and stated that “listening to it, one almost feels an intruder into the man’s soul”.
