Jewish background?[edit]

I have not read anywhere of Mick Hucknall being from a Jewish background (as was previously stated on this article ). His father, Reg, hailed from Barrow in Furness ( My Dad used to work with him ), whilst Mick's mother was of Irish extraction. He is almost certainly not of Jewish extraction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burynew (talk • contribs) 04:20, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • It is not that unlikely to be of Irish and Jewish descent, is it? Dreadlady 14:34, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No it's not. And he is. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.208.161.217 (talk) 07:55, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ladies' man[edit]

Mick Hucknall is known as quite a ladies' man. Would it be worth mentioning it somewhere in the article? Rogwan 07:00, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't quote it like that, but listing his relationships may get the point across. Whatever the addition, it must be verifiable. He's supposedly known for having a very large endowment, but that would be a challenge to cite. NickBurns 05:35, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism[edit]

He has not died, it's just vandalism. 20/11/06 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.92.232 (talk) 14:20, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I can find no reference ANYWHERE on the web to Mick Hucknall's death. Today is 20 November and Wiki has his death listed as 1am (GMT) on 18 November 2006. His official fan forum is chatting as usual, his official web site carries no news of his death, and the BBC is completely silent on the matter.(I am in the UK.) Is this some sicko's idea of a joke?????? It isn't funny; and the reputation of Wikipedia is at stake here. Someone, in authority, needs to look at this urgently. Pauli56 20:18, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I can find no reference to him being related to Dawn French either. Vandalism? DannyIndigo 12:29, 21 November 2006 (UTC) it does'nt say he died actually!. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.170.207.7 (talk) 03:22, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

sources[edit]

I've removed the following section, requesting sources. Regards, NonvocalScream (talk) 14:31, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've readded most of it with reliable sources. Graham87 09:40, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Life[edit]

He and his father lived very briefly in Bredbury before settling in Denton, where he grew up. He attended Audenshaw Grammar School for Boys.

Beginning of career[edit]

His first great or semi-great band wasn't Simply Red. He began to release recorded material, with a like Magazine/Joy Division post-punk band, a bit closer to Adam and the Ants. A video (homemade?) of one song can be seen on youtube.Francodamned (talk) 19:59, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean the Frantic Elevators? That band is briefly mentioned in the article. Graham87 08:46, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Guitar[edit]

I thought Mick played guitar, but there is no mentioning of this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.160.69.231 (talk) 15:09, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Birthdate[edit]

why his micks date of birth 1912 he was born in 1960 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.121.247.5 (talk) 20:43, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This was caused by vandalism that has since been fixed. Graham87 05:37, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not dead[edit]

A reliable source that the recent report of Hucknall dying is a hoax: Scottish Television -- Finlay McWalterჷTalk 12:35, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Similar problem with this article Paul MacDermott (talk) 15:18, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Horrible photograph...[edit]

He was supposed to be 50 years old on that 2010 photograph? Looks like 66 to me ... There are better photos of him around, "even" of the 2010s. -andy 2.242.86.57 (talk) 11:53, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Quote[edit]

Quote from Mick that should be added to his Wiki Bio : "My mother's family is Irish, and also my grandmother on my father's side I found out last year," he explains, with a flash of the ruby embedded in a front tooth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:e000:d2cd:c800:2595:4908:5e6d:78b7 (talk) 21:12, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I assume you're talking about this article. I don't see the point of adding the quote in full, but I've added info about his ancestry from that source among others. Graham87 05:59, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Quote?[edit]

His Mother's Mother was Jewish! Mick Hucknall IS JEWISH! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:d95f:3301:312b:f47d:cff8:b036 (talk) 12:09, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

reliable sources don't tend to describe him as such; we don't do original research here. Graham87 14:23, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
