Mick Quinn

Mick Quinn (born Michael Milton Quinn, 17 December 1969, in Oxford) is the bass player for English rock band, Supergrass.
In his late teens and early twenties Quinn had attempted unsuccessfully to forge a career as a musician. However, whilst working at a Harvester he befriended new co-worker Gaz Coombes who, along with friend Danny Goffey, had recently left a relatively successful local band The Jennifers. Despite a seven year age gap, Coobes and Quinn had attended the same school (Wheatley Park) and the two realised they had a common interest in music. Coombes invited Quinn to come and practice with himself and Goffey, another alumnus of Wheatley Park.
In February 1993 Quinn officially joined the band on bass guitar, while Goffey continued on drums and Coombes took both vocals and guitar, thus forming Theodore Supergrass. They soon did away with the prefix.
