Mike + The Mechanics, who have sold over 10 million records worldwide, have announced they will be playing Cardiff next year.

As part of their nationwide Word of Mouth Tour 2017, an epic run of 30 concerts in February and March, the band will play St David’s Hall on March 4 and tickets are on sale now.

Genesis founding member Mike Rutherford (guitar) – joins forces with a new generation Mike + The Mechanics which includes one of the UK’s most prolific R&B singer, Andrew Roachford - lead and backing vocals – (whose previous hits include Cuddly Tour and Family Man) and Canadian-born singer, Tim Howar - lead and backing vocals – who formed and toured with his band Vantramp, with the likes of Rod Stewart and Paulo Nutini.

Tim shares vocal duties with Roachford and they both add a new soulful dimension to the band’s already established sound.

Following on from their 82 dates performed last year in the USA, Europe and the UK, the Word Of Mouth Tour 2017 will include their massive 80s hit single ’The Living Years’ which became a NO. 1 hit in the US. The single then went onto become a global success. Their other classic hits will include; Silent Running; All I Need Is A Miracle; Word Of Mouth, Another Cup of Coffee, and the unforgettable Over My Shoulder to name a few.
