Feel The Rhythm, Feel The Mick Yard Vibe
Mick Yard Band
Miklos Udvardi aka (Hungarian to English translation) Mick Yard is a self-taught rhythm and lead guitarist and was born in Varpalota, Hungary. Raised within Communism, music was censored and there was little availability to the various artists who would become his inspiration. At 15 years of age, however, he heard Alvin Lee in concert and this experience re-shaped his future-BLUES MUSIC became his passion. After playing the limited venues and concerts offered in his homeland, he realized that his true audience would be in America. Miklos left behind communism, his family and home to take a chance on a language and country he did not know; to go where he could freely listen to B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Robin Trower, Albert Collins, Stevie Ray Vaughan and all who kept the hope in his heart. The hope that this music, played with such passion and heart, could also become his voice, the voice of his guitar. He plays completely from his heart and there is a reason Mick has been nicknamed The Hungarian Hurricane….
