Live agent Mick Griffiths has died.
A hugely experienced figure within live music, Mick Griffiths worked at Asgard for three decades before forming his own company in 2010.
Art & Industry became a by-word for integrity in live music, with the small roster designed to allow staff a more hands-on experience with the campaigns.
Often retaining artists for 20 years and more, Mick Griffiths developed close friendships with many of the acts he worked with. Sadly passing away this week, news of Mick Griffiths’ death sparked a number of tributes online.

We are very sad to hear the news that our friend and Tour agent Mick Griffiths has passed away.
Mick has helped plan the tours for over 25 years since the days of our album Moseley Shoals.
Our thoughts are with his friends and family.https://t.co/CqEHiy0kYQ

Julian’s tour agent, Mick Griffiths, has passed away. He was our friend & ally for nearly 30 years – he booked those 3 consecutive 1992-4 Highlands & Islands tours (essential for facilitating The Modern Antiquarian research). We are grateful to and will miss him so much

Devastated to hear that our friend Mick Griffiths, agent to @the_go_team amongst many others, has passed away. A genuine inspiration to us for his independent spirit and passion for music and so much more besides. He’s going to be sadly missed.
