Mick Dyche (born 1951) is an English rock and folk guitarist, and former member of 1970s soft rock band Sniff 'n' the Tears, who played guitar on their only major hit "Driver's Seat". 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.
