Mike + The Mechanics to release Let Me Fly in April

Mike + The Mechanics will release new album Let Me Fly on 7th April 2017 through BMG it has been announced.

The band, who have been around for 32 years and released 8 albums, will release the album as the follow-up to 2011’s The Road. The current line-up is Mike Rutherford (guitar/bass), Luke Juby (keyboards), Gary Wallis (drums), Anthony Drennan (guitar), plus vocalists Andrew Roachford and Tim Howar.

For the record the band worked with producer Brian Rawling and songwriter Clark Datchler, the former singer for Johnny Hates Jazz.

ā€œWe sat down together and from day one it worked. Clarkā€™s a proper writer and he brought something new. Iā€™d send him lines and heā€™d bring them to life. We never had a slow day.ā€
