Mike + The Mechanics are delighted to announce that Nic Collins will be joining their forthcoming ‘Refuelled! Tour 2023’ as the bands drummer due to the unavailability of Gary Wallis. The tour will see the band play through the UK from April until the end of May, and in addition, the tour has just been extended into Germany. All tickets are available to buy now below.
The Mechanics’ first tour since 2019’s ‘Looking Back Over My Shoulder Tour', the ‘Refuelled! Tour 2023’ tantalisingly promises “All the hits & a drop of Genesis”, a collection of songs Nic is of course more than familiar with. Alongside Nic will be Mike Rutherford and the other Mechanics Andrew Roachford who will once again be singing and playing keyboard, Tim Howar performing lead and backing vocals, Anthony Drennan on guitar and Luke Juby on keyboards.
Mike Rutherford says, “We’re delighted to have Nic join us for the tour, he has proven over the past five years what a versatile and tremendous drummer he really is, so to have him with us on the road next year is going to be a real treat. Gary Wallis has always been the drummer for Mike + The Mechanics and will continue to be so, it is unfortunate he is not available for this particular tour.”
Nic Collins says, "I’m thrilled to be taking up drumming duties on the next Mechanics tour! Playing with Mike over the last couple of years has been a real treat so I’m excited to continue sharing the stage with him along with the other Mechanics members. I feel privileged to be stepping in for Gary Wallace who’s been with the band for 30+ years. Yet another big pair of shoes to fill!"
