Mike And The Mechanics in concert

Mike and the Mechanics have been around since 1984. The band, originally started by supergroup Genesis founder-member, Mike Rutherford, and featuring vocalists Paul Carrack and Paul Young, shot to stardom with their two Top 10 singles; “Silent Running” and “All I Need Is a Miracle”.  They followed this success with “The Living Years”, an album that achieved massive global acclaim with its title single, the legendary, “The Living Years”, becoming the world’s 18th best-selling single of 1988.

Two further albums followed: 1991’s “Word of Mouth” and 1995’s “Beggar on a Beach of Gold” continuing to cement the band’s reputation as one of the most respected contemporary melodic rock bands.  As well as the title tracks, massive hits off these albums included “Over my Shoulder” and “Another Cup of Coffee”.

Sadly, in July 2000, lead vocalist Paul Young died and the face of Mike and the Mechanics consequently changed.  After an extended sabbatical period of inactivity, the group re-emerged, and in the years to 2009, the chameleon nature of the band became obvious, as it encompassed both its highly successful past and the beckoning future.   Mike Rutherford revealed to Rolling Stone magazine that he had started writing again – the result: a new generation Mike and The Mechanics album “The Road” launched in 2011, featuring two new faces in the vocal department, singer/song-writer and total entertainer, Andrew Roachford, and actor/singer Broadway and West End star, Tim Howar.
