| Mike Whitaker discovered filk
at a British Unicon in 1985, being the only person in the circle with a
guitar. By then he'd already written Before
the Dawn (in about half an hour one afternoon, using a guitar riff
he'd just found lying around in his fingers), just hadn't realised
it was filk. He thought it was done with after two sequels, but the rest
of the UK filkers had other ideas.
Since then, he's released two solo filk albums, and recorded two more with rock group Phoenix (with an 'i'!). On top of that he's contributed, willingly or no, the tunes to a fair chunk of Phil Allcock's debut tape, as well as supplied guitar and other talents on various other recordings. Somewhere along the way he's also found time to work for several well-known websites, run FilkNet, get married, have a son, and play in several non-filk bands and productions. |
