Hailed by Gilles Peterson as “one of his all-time favourite vocalists,” Mike Lindup is a cornerstone of Brit Funk and Jazz. As the founding member, vocalist, keyboard player, and composer of chart-topping pop-funk band Level 42, Mike has shaped some of the most iconic hits in pop history, including ‘Lessons in Love’ and ‘Something About You.’ With six Top 10 hits and seven Top 10 albums to his name, his contributions to the music world are legendary. Beyond his work with Level 42, Mike has solidified his reputation as a respected solo artist, with four studio albums showcasing his talents as a composer and performer. His collaborations with musical icons such as Eric Clapton, Dominic Miller, and Da Lata further cement his legacy as a world-class musician. In 2026, Mike is continuing an exciting new chapter with the Mike Lindup Trio – a fresh live project that celebrates the timeless jazz trio format of keys, bass, and drums. Joining Mike are two extraordinary musicians: Yolanda Charles MBE on bass, an internationally acclaimed bassist and songwriter, known for her work with Hans Zimmer, Paul Weller, BB King and many more, and John Sam on drums, whose exceptional rhythm playing brings an essential pulse to the trio’s sound.
