	Shergold Guitars - Mike Rutherford
		Mike has four "halves" (One 4 string bass; Two twelve strings; and a six string with single coil pickups - now owned by the homepage) One other natural finish six string top was made for Mike probably by Roger Giffen.
		All stories of Mike having a four neck ambidextrous guitar (Shergold or otherwise) are untrue (this occasionally does the rounds - search Google Groups for the latest version), despite those people who maintain that they saw the flight cases etc, it is an urban myth.
		Mike has also written a review of the Marathon 6 string for a magazine, and of course, appears prominently in the Genesis Tour Programmes...

	Shergold Guitars - GENESIS - The Earls Court Supergig and Mike Rutherford Interviewed
		Mike's contribution to the design was actually little more than the idea of being able to detach the two halves and clip on separate pieces to convert them back to "single-neck" guitars.
		Rutherford's is module 4, which is straight stereo with a tone control and volume for each pick-up, and a three way selector switch.
		Mike himself knows little about the theory of music: Tony Banks is the one with the classical training, and his influence shows through in the linking chord sequences.

		Needless to say this was the start for the gigantic success of drummer/singer Phil Collins yet also Mike Rutherford would leave the band concept and concentrate on his first solo outing in the form of the album Smallcreep's Day.
		Although the Mike and The Mechanics music is ideal for prime time airplay, their albums are slagged off in the specialized press.
		If we didn't have Mike then Paul would probably be doing what the other members of Sad Café have been doing for the rest of their lives.

	MIKE RUTHERFORD discography, MP3 and reviews
		From humble beginnings on guitar for UK schoolbands, RUTHERFORD found his niche as chief bassist and backing guitarist with GENESIS, duties he would chiefly apply from 1978 onward.
		As is evidenced by RUTHERFORD's two 'solo' discs, he has the knack for fusing progressive and straight-ahead rock tunes.
		With the 80's, RUTHERFORD abandoned the prog trappings and released "Acting Very Strange", a hard-rocking LP that hinges on punk and new wave, given the screamed out vocals by Mike himself and the synthlines that carry several tunes.

	Tentative Review by The Christopher Currie: Mike + The Mechanics - Mike + The Mechanics
		Mike + The Mechanics was originally conceived by Mike Rutherford as a studio venture (not unlike the APP) in 1985.
		The extent to which Rutherford allowed (ordered?) the project to be dominated by others is a matter for some debate.
		Rutherford's presence is limited to two guitar solos and a few tricks on the chorus, which compliment the general effect of the song rather nicely.

	MIKE RUTHERFORD Acting Very Strange reviews and MP3
		Unlike his majestic debut, this album would prove to be a harbringer to further solo releases, in which Mike would forsake his progressive roots, find success in the "POP" world with his offshoot band Mike and The Mechanics.
		Rutherford sings in tune, but he is not a good singer.

	Peter Gabriel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gabriel founded Genesis in 1967 while a pupil at Charterhouse School with bandmates Tony Banks, Anthony Phillips, and Mike Rutherford.
		Backing vocals in Genesis during Gabriel's tenure in the band were usually handled by bassist/guitarist Mike Rutherford, keyboardist/guitarist Tony Banks, and (most prominently) drummer Phil Collins, who (after a long search for a replacement) eventually became Genesis's lead singer after Gabriel left the band in 1975.
		Gabriel's departure from Genesis (which stunned fans of the group and left many commentators wondering if they could survive) was the result of a number of factors.

	Official Ticketmaster site. Mike + the Mechanics tickets, dates
		Featuring Rutherford (bass), former Ace and Squeeze member Paul Carrack (vocals, keyboards), ex-Sad Cafe member Paul Young (vocals), keyboardist Adrian Lee, and drummer Peter Van Hooke, the group released their self-titled first album late in 1985.
		The record was a greater success than the first album, spawning the number one hit single "The Living Years." After its release, the group was inactive for another few years; they returned in 1991 with Word of Mouth, which failed to duplicate the success of their first two records.
		Four years later, Mike + the Mechanics released their fourth record, Beggar on a Beach of Gold, which was a moderate hit in the U.K. In the spring of 1996, Mike + the Mechanics released the greatest-hits collection Hits in Britain; M6 followed four years later.

		Rutherford's second solo album, this disc ranges from mediocre and forgettable to downright annoying.
		Rutherford's debut solo album, Smallcreep's Day, was actually a pretty decent prog-based effort in the style of late 70s Genesis.

		Back when Genesis shrunk down to a trio, Mike handled bass on record and swapped back and forth on bass and guitar with hired hand guitarist Darryl Stuermer on live dates.
		If you're wondering what Mike Rutherford is like on bass, listen to the "In the Cage" Medley on "Three Sides Live" the part where they speed up and get into an instrumental bit from "The Colony of Slipperman" is really great!
		BTW Mike played with a pick most of the time, at least on all the concerts & video's I've seen.
