mk will be sharing the time allowed with a lot of other acts so i dont reckon he'll do more than a quarter of a set on his own.

Probably just Local Hero and his appearance. I wouldn't think any more than that.

if the some of the cast from Auf Wiedersehen pet are present, theres a distinct possibility that fellow geordies like jimmy nail, tim healy and
kevin whately will join mk in doing why aye man. but you're right he will probably do local hero; the teams still run out to it every home match at st james park.

As you can imagine, I'm beyond excited. :D

I certainly am. :)

I don't know any specifics yet, other than I'll be playing the bass.

For obvious reasons, I'll not be able to give much away until after the event...
