For a pop icon, Mike Rutherford is a surprisingly modest chap.

Although much has changed since their self-titled debut was released in 1985, Mike and The Mechanics’ current line-up has been touring together for almost a decade and it showed on Saturday night at the Guildhall.

Still on the road and souped up with a new album of re-imagined classics Out Of The Blue, Mike Rutherford's original side venture from his Genesis day job has come full circle with a remarkable show for a devoted Royal Albert Hall audience.

For a right-handed drummer, left foot - the high-hat foot - is pretty much the time keeper. One-two-three-four.

A FULL Barbican applauded the tall, regal Mike Rutherford as he walked on to the urban scrapyard of flight cases and old par cans for Let Me Fly.

Let Me Fly, the second album from Mike + The Mechanics to feature the current line-up, highlighting the soulful voice of (co-)lead vocalist Andrew Roachford, is a bit of a disappointment, considering how much talent and energy Mike Rutherford’s long-time, Genesis "side project" has had over the decades.

This re-mastered version of Collins' first solo album has been spruced up by Nick Davis, who has worked on ll the Genesis retrospective reissues.

Not all of Collins' solo material deserves reverence, but it's obvious that there are some forgotten gems in his discography, making even casual fans wonder if they truly have both sides of his story.

Over the years, I’ve made no secret about my love of Genesis and Phil Collins.
