After the soundcheck for the album presentation event, GNC hat the opportunity for an exclusive interview with Mike + The Mechanics in London. Christian Gerhardts talked to Mike Rutherford, Tim Howar and Andrew Roachford in the basement of London’s Hard Rock Cafe about The Road and beyond.
Surprisingly in 2007 Peter Gabriel did a Tour through Europe – even if there was no new album to promote. The reason was his gig at the WOMAD Anniversary Concert.
Mike Rutherford starts over and relaunches his highly successful solo project with a new line up that consists of familiar names and new faces. Christian Gerhardts about his impressions of the album.
From 2002 to 2004 Peter Gabriel with his album UP has been on the “Growing Up Tour” (which on the second half was called “Still Growing Up Tour”). We like to present an archive with all tourdates and setlists.
The all new Mike + The Mechanics line up will hit the road again in 2012. The tour is called Hit The Road and it will feature two new singers, Andrew Roachford and Tim Howar, who join Mike Rutherford to continue with one of the most successful side projects ever.
