Mick Dyche (born 1946) is an English rock and folk guitarist, and former member of 1970s soft rock band Sniff 'n' the Tears,[1] who played guitar on their only major hit "Driver's Seat".[2] in 1978.

Dyche was born in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, England.

In an interview in 2007 former band-mate, Laurence "Loz" Netto, credits Dyche as the player of the distinctive guitar 'hook' or riff that opens the single:

No, the guitar hook was Mick Dyche, I must learn to lie.

[3]

Dyche later played live – and recorded – with a range of bands and musicians including Glenn Cornick's band Wild Turkey,[4][5][6] Pat Travers Band,[7] Noel McCalla, John Illsley,[8] The Hank Wangford Band and The Maddy Prior Band.[9] He more recently played with the Burton on Trent based band, Mona Leeza.
