  • Mick Quinn (born Michael Milton Quinn, 17 December 1969 in Oxford, England) is the bass player for English rock band, Supergrass.In his late teens and early twenties Quinn had attempted unsuccessfully to forge a career as a musician. However, whilst working at a Harvester he befriended new co-worker Gaz Coombes who, along with friend Danny Goffey, had recently left a relatively successful local band The Jennifers. Despite a six year age gap, Coombes and Quinn had attended the same school and the two realised they had a common interest in music. Coombes invited Quinn to come and practice with himself and Goffey, another alumnus of Wheatley Park. In February 1993 Quinn officially joined the band on bass guitar, while Goffey continued on drums and Coombes took both vocals and guitar, thus forming Theodore Supergrass, which was later renamed Supergrass. Mick Quinn has said that in his opinion Supergrass' greatest achievements are: "Not doing Calvin Klein. Not doing Spielberg. Not doing nearly all the things we've been offered."On 31 August 2007, Quinn was hospitalized in Toulouse, France for an operation to repair two broken vertebrae and a smashed heel, sustained after falling out of a first floor window of a rented villa he was staying in with his family. This caused some Supergrass homecoming dates which coincided with the album release of Diamond Hoo Ha, as well as the album release itself, to be postponed. Since recovering, Quinn has been seen sporting a T-shirt with the caption 'Tough Cookie', which relates to a similar phrase used by Gaz Coombes to describe his bandmate's character after the accident.

  • Michale Quinn es un músico miembro de la banda Supergrass. Nació el 17 de diciembre de 1969. Antes de que formase parte de Supergrass tocó por poco tiempo en algunas bandas locales y grabó cintas caseras, hasta que empezó a trabajar en local Harvester. Un nuevo empleado, llamado Gaz Coombes, habló con él y le mostró sus interés en la música y así decidió dejar los ensayos con su banda. Poco tiempo después, Mick tocaba el bajo como miembro solo de esta banda, banda que se convertiría en Supergrass. Mick actualmente vive en Oxford con su mujer e hijos. Su padre es el bioquímico australiano Peter Quinn, el cual trabaja en King's College London. Quinn, mick (es)
