Life-affirming, catchy, and yet somehow peculiar: the pop of Mike + The Mechanics can be described. They have brought the music of their current album Let me Fly to "Berlin live".

A success story, because the airy songs with the light soul touch are suitable perfect for charts, radio waves and relaxed live performances.
