Mick Box

Michael Frederick Box (born 9 June 1947) is an English musician who is the lead guitarist of rock group Uriah Heep, having previously been a member of The Stalkers and Spice, both with original Uriah Heep vocalist David Byron.

[2] In 2018 Mick Box said that he was influenced by Les Paul and Mary Ford, Django Reinhardt, Wes Montgomery, Tal Farlow and Barney Kessel.

He attributes some of these influences to his first guitar instructor because he was the second guitarist for Django Reinhardt, as well as coming from a jazz background.

[3] When he started performing with Uriah Heep, other new bands included Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and Led Zeppelin.

He said he felt strange being in quarantine, because he was accustomed to being "on the road," and interacting with fans at concerts.
