Mike Wilton

About Me

Howdy Y'all. Pleased to meet you.My name is Mike Wilton, but am also known as John Milton to certain folk. This is partly because i always wanted to be called john as a kid because i thought johns were cool, but also because i needed a nickname in me band!. i come from crowborough in East Sussex, England. It's a pretty shitty part of the south, so i now live in Brighton (because it's a lot better!). I'm a bit of a multi-intrumentalist because i find anything musical intresting.Mike Wilton (aka John Milton/Torbs/Mikey/Mickey/Mikos/Bob/Tim Nice But Dim) was the lead guitarist and backing vocalist in brighton band THE REVEALS. Out of THE REVEALS he has written his own songs.Raised by a pack of wolves, mike’s first musical experience was howling. Mike was captured and taken from the wild at the age of 6. Graham and Sue Wilton opted to adopt mike and put him into a conventional middle-class house, even though he was still totally wild at the time. Mike did not fit in well with kids at school, mainly because he had a habit of biting many of the other kids. This was when mike turned to music, and more specifically, the guitar. He found that he could take all of his built up emotions out on it. This still is apparent today as he continues to dive-bomb, windmill, and generally be nasty to his guitars. The best thing is to come and see it all for yourself! Ps, all the biting lark is in the past, he is approachable!www.myspace.com/mikewilton69
