This month, on 23 April, Mike and the Mechanics roll into town as part of their ‘The Hits Tour 2015’.
Yes, it’s been 30 years since Genesis’ Mike Rutherford, Paul Carrack, Paul Young, Adrian Lee and Peter Van Hooke got together, forming the pop supergroup that gave us The Living Years, Word of Mouth and other late 80s and early 90s classics. Though he seems to have lost a few of his original Mechanics along the way, Mike Rutherford is joined by two new bandmates for this recent reincarnation of the band: prolific R&B singer Andrew Roachford (whose previous hits include Cuddly Toy and Family Man) and Canadian-born singer Tim Howar who, with his band Vantramp, has toured with the likes of Rod Stewart and Paulo Nutini.
They’ll be bringing a new dimension to the band’s established sound, and are sure to bring out plenty of the old hits. The gig takes place on 23 April at 7.30pm, and tickets are on sale from £34.50.
