What a great historic interview with such a great man and musician. I had the absolute privilege of meeting Mike, Craig and Mark Cuffe when i was a camera operator on their film clip “ Comes a Time” That shoot started at sunset and went through til sunrise and the Spies were professional,patient and very gracious throughout. I hold those memories as a career highlight.

Loved this interview! I've been a Spies fan since the early 80's and got to meet the guys so many times...my favorite band of all time. I remember Mike getting me into a sold out gig one night...have the best memories going to their shows. Not the same now that Mike is no longer with us 😞

I was super fortunate to have met Mike on a few occasions, the last time back stage in Sydney I think in 2000. That's when Craig Bloxom was still playing and, from memory, Paul Wheeler (Icehouse) was on drums. He was such a humble, affable bloke, totally devoid of ego, with a self-deprecating sense of humour and straight forward sincerity. Not to mention a unique guitar player who overlayed the driving bass and drum rhythm with sonically beautiful melody lines. The final time I watched Mike play was at the Dee Why RSL on Sat, 02 April 2016 - the Spies were supporting the Radiators. He played superbly - no suprise. The fact we're all here talking about Mike means he's still with us, he continues to exist and resonate in our lives. And of course, the music lives on and on.

Mike was one of Australia's greatest rock guitarists, his individual style and sound was at the core of Spy v Spy. His solo CD Honey Island was magical, a real treat and almost a hidden Spys recording. Just so sad he passed away in 2018. No one can recreate his style of playing, they try buy never match it.

Totally agree!!! As far as I'm concerned, Mike and Blox were Australia's version of Page & Plant.

Mike Weiley had a unique style of Guitar playing. I first saw 'Spys' early on in 1982, during their Ska period. I may have heard "Brightside" on JJJ before seeing them in concert, hard to remember. I still possess the E.P. "Four Fresh Lemons", it is a treasure of mine. I don't agree that they are 'under rated' though. They did have some 'healthy' Chart success with a few albums in the Mainstream. Some of their Singles needed more commercial airplay in order to sell more. If "Hard Times" isn't a catchy tune then I'm not a carbon based life form. All 'Spys' fans know their other catchy songs that would've been Chart Hits with support from the fickle Triple M radio. I'm not exaggerating when I say that 'Spys' are one of the best 3 piece Bands to walk the Planet. Words cannot describe how much I love them.
