My fondest memory of Mike was a June evening in Dublin after the 2014 World Flower Show. It had been a hot, dry, sunny day - a rarity in Dublin! After a meal out Mike and Jane, myself and John went in search of music and stumbled across a small alley with a few bars. A young lady had just bought an unusual musical instrument which she did not know how to play, but luckily one person drinking nearby was prepared to give it a go. He played until 2 in the morning, entertaining all who wandered by, with different groups joining in the singing at different times. He only required frequent thirst quenchers of Guinness - which Mike and John took it in turns to provide. A happy, memorable evening.
