Who is Mr M ?

Lancashire born band leader Ian Gregson has created a wealth of original music inspired by world and local events, tv shows, the local film industry and of course personal relationships including two marriages. Ian also has some unique perspectives as a long term person with a disability having lost his leg at age 15.

As a singer Ian looks turns to the likes of Hugh Cornwell, Ian Dury, Alex Harvey & Nick Cave. The music Ian created is spread far and wide;  inspired initially by Wigan Casino and Northern Soul, Curtis Mayfield, Charles Bradley to renowned Irish rocker Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy and modfather Paul Weller. Like the late Mayfield and Bradley, Ian is not afraid to address the injustices of the world on tracks like “Prisoners” and “Keep The Faith” to comedic elements in “Devil Came to Town” and “Just Let Me Be”. 

The resulting musical concoction of rock, funk and soul combined with driving beats and raging guitar added with melodic interludes that are closer to the heart  will get you groovin’ and rockin’. Ian's music does not allow you to sit still.

The name “Mr M & The All Nighters” is derived from the legendary Wigan Casino “All Nighters” and its side room “Mr M’s”
