Takin' Care of Business

The Mike Shaft Story

by Mike Shaft / Catherine Proctor

For over fifty years, Mike Shaft has been a defining voice in British broadcasting, a pioneer of soul music on the airwaves, an advocate for the community, a man whose mic was always powered with a purpose.

Told with warmth, humour, and honesty, this book reveals the man behind the voice, exploring Mike's unshakable faith, his love for music in all its forms (including Country!), with his quiet commitment to lifting others up.

Featuring memories, photographs and reflections from colleagues, fans, and friends, it celebrates a life lived with soul, sincerity, and integrity. This is more than a biography; It's a celebration, a legacy, of a man who has never stopped Takin' Care of Business.
