Mike Hugg

Mike Hugg (born Michael John Hugg, 11 August 1942, Gosport, Hampshire) is a professional musician (drums, vocals, keyboards and songwriter) and a founding member of the 1960s group Manfred Mann.

Though not from a musical family, his parents condoned his jazz drumming so long as he kept up his piano lessons, and Hugg set his sights on a life in music, under the spell of Miles Davis and Thelonius Monk. He met Manfred Mann while serving as a musician at Butlin's Clacton and also worked with jazz/RnB musician Graham Bond.
