Mic Darling (also known as Mick Darling) was a respected folk singer and musician from the traveller community who performed for decades alongside his wife, Susie Darling.

Mic and Susie were a long-established duo on the folk club and festival circuit, performing at events such as the Musicport Festival and Bamfest. His song writing focused on the traveller way of life, including songs about horses, dogs, and chickens, which he described as a "way of life that has almost gone". He was widely regarded for his authenticity in the folk world, living the life he sang about. Following his death, he was remembered by the folk community as a "lovely, warm and generous person". The single "The Ballad of Mic and Susie" by Sam Barrett was written to honor their inspirational lives within the traveller community.

Susie Darling about her life on the road.

"These days there's only me and Mic, my husband of fifty-five years.

We've had seven children who are all now grown up and have families of their own.             Since we got married in 1965 we've lived our life on the road, travelling mostly with horses and wagons. We've not had an easy life but we've sure had an interesting one".
