Mick Hucknall: „Food is life.“
As lead singer of Simply Red, Mick Hucknall, born in 1960, touched the hearts of his fans with his Soul music. He is a great musician and a man, who enjoys a high standard of living himself and is always committed to various projects to promote quality and sustainability. Grown up in Manchester in modest circumstances, he has been supporting the SOS-Children’s Villages since many years. Alongside his career, Hucknall, together with the actors Johnny Depp, Sean Penn and John Malkovich, established the Man Ray in Paris in 1998 – a bar-restaurant named after the surrealist all-round-artist Man Ray.More branches opened in New York and London.
Since 2000, he grows vine at the Mount Etna. His vineyard “Il Cantante” (“The singer”) focuses on local, traditional grape varieties and his wines are internationally accepted. Hucknall on his commitment: “It is an effort to strengthen the communities and to improve the reputation of certain regions so that they become more interesting economically and attract more business-people.” In Sicily, he certainly succeeded, because wine from the Etna region continues to be in high demand.
Hucknall is involved in projects at the other end of Europe as well: on a large estate on the River Finn in the north of Ireland, he supports the conservation of wild salmon that spawns in the upper reaches of the river. Hucknall’s credo: “It is important for me to give something back to the community. There are so many people in the world who need help in order to take a step forwards. I help by ensuring that things can grow.”
