When I was a teenager I had every Searchers record like 1000s of others who simply loved their music. In those days the top groups always had an elite singer and they didn’t come any better or bigger in voice than Mike Pender.

When he decided to break away from the original group I knew immediately that without his presence they would always be an echo of the past, not the magic recaptured which Mike Pender’s Searchers are.

Re Sean from Ulsters message. Would be great to see them together one last time, but hardly likely. Would suggest Steve Carlisle on drums.

See you are playing in Kyrenia in August. Are Barrie, Keith and Mike jnr with you?

Wouldn't a Tremeloes-MPS USA tour be awesome. Miss you all!

Hi Mike,
We managed to see you twice in the last 10 months, The Philharmonic and the Green Room. Just love your style and the real voice and hope you will come over to South Africa again.
Regards
Norman

It was great seeing Mike and his band of merry men at the 'Young at Heart' 60s Festival at Rutherglen near Glasgow. A popular set of songs, including some superb non-Searchers songs like My Girl, Hold Me, You've Got It and I loved the encore of Bryan Adams' song... Summer of '69

hi mike it's great to see you are back on tour we met you 2010 at llandudano.that was a brilliant night and look forward to future gigs

Dear lovely MIKE PENDER !
Let me call you so and the reason is that first I heard you in far,far 1964-s,when your disk "Needles And Pins" (Oh ! "THE SEACHERS" !) appeared.I was shocked.I opened something new for me,something unknown at that it was unlike the other music,music which being unlike the other,impressed me,by it sinkere kindness.And when I saw your photo,can't forget it till nowadays.Every time, having got your next disk with great difficully,as the prices were and remain today too high(but usually it takes a lot of time before we can listen to your next disk) I immersed in your music world and imagined as if,I were together with you. Unforgettable time!
You had everything on your way:success and disappointment,but the time proved that your are "the qiants of music"! I am glad with to every you success still many ,many years.I always wanted to know about your as much.I'm interested in both:your life and work.

Will you,please help me ,if it's possible to know more about you not only as a musitian but as a person.We can understand music though the musitians thoughts and soul even if we don't understand the words in English.I would like to speak with you about everything. But it's a pity it's not possible to write everything in a letter. A letter is the only means communication with you...
The only hope to meet you and to speak with you it's your concert. But in fortunately it's very difficult.Heardly I when nor be able arrive in Europe and USA single hope if you will arrive in Russia,we without fall a meet.Dreams... It is difficult for you to understand as it was earlier in the USSR (Soviet Union), with what difficulties to us the nextn albums of you reached. I remember those times when each new album got with the big work. Now them it is possible the find - truth bad piracy copies from China. In expensive dear shops it is possible to order and buy original disks, but they cost stand even more expensively the present true price... Now much has changed, I could see you "alive" in video, but remained as before impossibility to receive the autograph of you.

I always dreamed, if not you then though musician you which works I really love and with pleasure I listen when some day will come and in my small world of the admirer you as a photo with his its autograph. But apparently it only dreams - miracles simply do not happen, and if are that only for " the elected public. But all the same, my love to music you remain with me for ever. And let dreams will not come true, but I trusted, and the belief and hope die the last... .My letter means you have reached,but I hoped to receive from your autograph-for me it is a limit dreams.With music of you I have lived the most part of the life and I wanted to have a part of this life having touched again by those unforgettable years of our youth by which part and were you.Forgive me,if I am too persevering.The you for me always was and will be that light with what the man lives.The thank for that you is.Let always success and our love will be with you.
