Mitch has played guitar seriously for five years since he was 13 and first met Walter at a gig in Sunderland three years ago.  Walter asked for a CD and soon after hearing the tracks invited Mitch to guest at his Colne gig in 2006.  Since then Mitch and Walter have been playing together on UK gigs on a regular basis including Newcastle, Leeds and Milton Keynes. 

Mitch's first band was Vanilla Moon in 2006, which evolved into The Mitch Laddie Trio in 2008, with the original bass player and drummer from Vanilla Moon namely Rhian Wilkinson (bass) and Lee "Cliffy" Clifford (drums).  The band have enjoyed success on both the MCC Rally and festival circuit.  Mitch will be 18 in September - Cliffy and Rhian are 19 and 17 respectively.  They play a mixture of original and cover material.  The Band is County Durham based but Mitch prefers to be linked to Newcastle. He is signed to Provogue and currently awaits a recording schedule for the first album.  The official website  is www.mitchladdie.com
