Mike Hales

From humble beginnings as a journalist on his local Portsmouth newspaper, Mike Hales enjoyed a rapid career in pop music, from ‘oily rag’ in a record company press office to Director of Popular Music world-wide in the space of seven years. Being Editor of BBC Television Publicity preceded becoming Director of Communications at the Manchester Commonwealth Games of 2002. A similar role at national charity Diabetes UK led on to further appointments in the charity sector before he turned his attention to story-telling and here is the first offering from his keyboard in Cornwall.
