Mick Dyche (4 October 1951 – 21 December 2018) was an English rock and folk guitarist, and former member of 1970s soft rock band Sniff 'n' the Tears.[2] He was known for playing guitar on their only major hit "Driver's Seat",[3] for which he also provided the opening guitar riff, as credited by former bandmate Laurence "Loz" Netto in a 2005 interview with Lars Hindsley.[4]
Born in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, England, he had appeared on Wild Turkey's 1972 album, Turkey, as a guitarist and vocalist; on Tim Rose's 1975 LP The Musician; and on Snips' 1978 LP Video King; before joining Sniff 'n' the Tears.[5]
After Sniff 'n' the Tears, Dyche played live and recorded with a range of bands and musicians, including the Pat Travers Band,[6] Noel McCalla, John Illsley,[7] The Hank Wangford Band and The Maddy Prior Band.[8] He also rejoined Glenn Cornick's band Wild Turkey,[9][10][11] for some time circa 2006, and, more recently, he played with the Burton upon Trent-based band Mona Leeza.
