You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.82.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:36, 3 July 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

Kramer]] [[The Dakotas (band)|and the Dakotas]], and [[Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers]].

==Biography==
Born Michael Robert Green, in [[Matlock, Derbyshire]], Green grew up in the same block of flats in Wimbledon, south-west London, as the future Pirates.<ref>((Cite web |date=2010-01-27 |title=Mick Green obituary |url=http://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/jan/27/mick-green-obituary |access-date=2022-03-22 |website=The Guardian |language=en))</ref> He devoured skiffle and early rock'n'roll, and began his career in 1956 playing in a skiffle trio "The Wayfaring Strangers", formed with his schoolmates Johnny Spence (on bass) and Frank Farley (on drums), which came second in a bands competition to [[The Quarrymen]], an early incarnation of [[the Beatles]].<ref>((cite news |url=http://news.scotsman.com/obituaries/Mick-Green.5995701.jp |last=Mair |first=Chris |title=Obituary: Mick Green |date=20 January 2010 |newspaper=[[The Scotsman]] |accessdate=26 October 2010))</ref> After a stint as the Ramrods, the trio then joined Red-E-Lewis and the Redcaps, who became the Redcaps, backing [[Cuddly Dudley (singer)|Cuddly Dudley]], when Reddy Lewis left.<ref>((cite web |last=Eder |first=Bruce |title=Biography of Mick Green |url=((AllMusic|class=artist|id=mick-green-p81914/biography|pure_url=yes)) |publisher=[[AllMusic]]|accessdate=25 October 2010))</ref> In 1962, all three then joined [[Johnny Kidd and the Pirates]] – formed by Kidd during the 1950s – just after the band had scored a huge hit with Shakin' All Over, with Joe Moretti on lead guitar.<ref>((Cite journal |date=2009-11-11 |title=This video shows recovery of David after his inguinal hernia repair done in India |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.4016/14266.01 |access-date=2022-03-22 |website=SciVee|doi=10.4016/14266.01 ))</ref> Green left to join [[Billy J. Kramer]] with [[The Dakotas (band)|The Dakotas]] in 1964. His ability to play lead and rhythm guitar simultaneously influenced a number of British guitarists to follow, including [[Pete Townshend]] and [[Wilko Johnson]], the original guitarist for [[Dr. Feelgood (band)|Dr. Feelgood]].<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~sjm/guitar_players.htm |title=Guitar Players |first=Stephen J. |last=Marshall |website=Stephen's Guitar page |date=2002 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071224041917/http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~sjm/guitar_players.htm |archivedate=24 December 2007 ))</ref> Green's song "Oyeh!" was on Dr. Feelgood's debut album, ''[[Down by the Jetty]]''; and a song he co-wrote, "Going Back Home" appeared on Dr. Feelgood's 1975 ''[[Malpractice (Dr. Feelgood album)|Malpractice]]'' and the live album, ''[[Stupidity (Dr. Feelgood album)|Stupidity]]'' (1976). Green was also a member of the band Shanghai, which released two albums, in 1974 and 1976, other members included, Chuck Bedford (vocals, harmonica, 1974–1975), [[Pete Kircher]] (drums, vocals), Mike Le Main (bass, keyboards, 1974–1975), Cliff Bennett of [[Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers]] (vocals, 1975–1976), Brian Alterman (guitar, 1975–1976), Pat King (bass, 1975–1976).

Green reformed the Pirates with Farley and Spence in 1976 ([[Johnny Kidd (singer)|Kidd]] having died in 1966). Over the next five years they became one of the hardest-gigging bands on the road and released four albums: ''Out of Their Skulls'' (1977), ''Skull Wars'' (1978), ''Happy Birthday Rock'n'Roll'' (1979) and the ten-inch ''A Fistful of Dubloons'' (1981). Green played the [[Fender Telecaster Custom]] produced in 1972 as his main guitar.

Green was also a member of the band Shanghai, which released two albums, in 1974 and 1976, and supported [[Status Quo (band)|Status Quo]] on their ''[[Blue for You]]'' [[concert tour|tour]]. Together with Quo member [[Alan Lancaster]] he wrote four songs recorded by Status Quo.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.the-makers-of.info |title=The Makers of ... The Status Dis-Quo-graphy |website=The-makers-of.info |accessdate=25 August 2014))</ref>

In the 1980s and 1990s, Green played with, amongst others, [[Bryan Ferry]], [[Van Morrison]], [[Paul McCartney]], [[Robert Plant]] and [[Lemmy]], as well as the Pirates, with whom he continued to [[concert|gig]] well into the 2000s. His other notable gigs included playing guitar for Van Morrison on the Pyramid Stage at the [[Glastonbury Festival]] in 2005, and with [[David Gilmour]] and [[Paul McCartney]] at the latter's return to the [[Cavern Club]] in support of his ''[[Run Devil Run (album)|Run Devil Run]]'' album in 1999.

In his spare time he [[teacher|taught]] guitar privately, as well as at various local schools.

In 1990, Green played guitar with [[Lemmy]] and the Upsetters on their "Blue Suede Shoes" / "Paradise" single. The A-side was originally recorded for a charity album, and Green wrote the B-side with Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister for this occasional Upsetters project.

From 1999 to 2008, Green performed regularly with the [[Van Morrison]] band. He played guitar on 1999's ''[[Back on Top (Van Morrison album)|Back on Top]]'' and he appeared on his other studio albums up until he was on five of the tracks on Van Morrison's 2008 album, ''[[Keep It Simple]]''.

In 2007, he recorded a six track mini-album, ''Cutthroat and Dangerous'' in Finland with the Finnish rock'n'roll trio, Doctor's Order.

In February 2004, while on stage with Bryan Ferry in [[Auckland]], New Zealand, Green suffered a cardiac arrest. His life was saved by two doctors in the crowd and following his return to England and recovery he carried on playing. He suffered kidney problems in February 2009, partly connected with his earlier heart problem.

==Death==
Mick Green died of heart failure on 11 January 2010 in King George Hospital, [[Ilford]], [[Essex]]. His wife Karen, sons Lloyd and Brad and daughter-in-law Hannah were at his side. In light of his death, The Pirates disbanded.

On 27 November 2010, the Mick Green tribute gig was held at the [[100 Club]] and featured the Animals and the Wilko Johnson Band.  Fellow Pirate shipmate and close friend Johnny Spence closed the evening together with Mick's two sons (Brad on guitar and Lloyd on bass) performing several of the Pirates' back catalogue. His son Lloyd Green now plays bass guitar in critically acclaimed blues rock band The Milk Men.
