Probably seen by a lot of you, but this short documentary was new to me. From 2006, when Mark received the Variety Club Award at Newcastle's Civic Centre...

thanks for sharing, never seen before
is Hank Marvin' guitar a 12-burn baldwin ? (at 1:16 and 6:10), very uncommon I think
-
I think it's just his 6 string burns but he does play a 12 string too. :)

Strange to see Mark talking for 5 seconds and then 5 minutes of song. Quite annoying. This video was made by various press kits, RPD, STP, etc.
Guys, where I can get The Ragpicker's Dream EPK? And Golden Heart EPK, too. I saw it once and I want it very much now, I would pay any money for it but never seen it for sale :(
All Press Kits are listed on On Every Bootleg: http://www.oneverybootleg.nl/presskits_dvd.htm

for TRD, isn't there something on the bonus CD ?
I remember there is CD-rom track with a biography /discography, but not sure if there are some itws on it ?
-
I don't know really. TRD limited edition 2nd disc have just some live recordings. There was an Interview TRD disc, but it's just audio-clips.
Golden Heart EPK I believe came with GH box, I think it almost impossible to get. And where I can get TRD EPK I have no idea at all :hmm

JF, sincere apologies, I just deleted your post by mistake. :smack
But no, I didn't realise it was 12 string until I saw this a few years ago.

Funny also that MK got a green 12 string, same as Hank again!
And you are correct, 6 string at Knebworth. :)

no soucy Dusty :)
So Mark seems to have purchased a 12 string burn because Hank had one, and the red strat wasn't the only connection with Hank then...
Thanks for the info, I had never realized that before.
To me this guitar looked weird, and I never made the connection with sixties twang music
I love Mark's solo on Angel of Mercy with this guitar, and I love the werchter 81 version, when he is introducing the band during this solo.
What a surprise when we discovered that he played slide on this guitar in early 79 :

Thanks for that link JF and also to Ingo. A bootleg I never actually don't have! Great version of this song.
-
It was great to see/hear Hank play the 'Burns Marvin' for 'The Rise & Fall Of Flingel Bunt' during The Shadows two farewell tours we were lucky enough to go to...

Saw the shads farewell tour but not cliff and the shads farewell tour.
Apparently all Cliff shows are mimed to a tape, don't know about the shads. :(
-
Dusty,
We went to both the Shadows farewell tours: 2004 & 2005 (One initially then two nights at Birmingham were added on the end of an added European tour in 2005) and they were most excellent.
We then went to see the Cliff and the Shadows re-union in 2009 at the O2 and yes that was ok but when the Shadows played their 'bit' and Cliff went off stage (To recover and have some Red Bull!) We found a lot of the Cliff fans would rather talk than listen and that seriously ***sed me off!!!
As for the Cliff mimed bit - not sure on that? probable but I know the Shads were definitely NOT miming!!
-
Verry nice!! Thanks for sharing Jarle!! :D

Thanks SL1, now I was able to watch it, too! :thumbsup
Some great new pictures and footage, apart from the usual Money For Nothing and Going Home stuff. Ships, bridges, landscapes - fits perfectly well with Mark's musical area. And again, the used some (blurry) Wembley Arena footage to illustrate it - it really is as if someone wants to tease us with that best show ever recorded...
I never saw that Sultans footage from the beginning. I am sure you all know where that came from??

Thank you VERY MUCH for the download link, much appreciated! Very nicely made montage. And it is also the first time I saw a short clip of the Swan Hunter show. Would be great if more is available from that show on video somewhere in the archives.
-
Even though this video only goes as far as 2006, of course, it really shows the variety of music that MK has written and performed.
I was watching a couple of programmes on BBC4 last night about The Everly Brothers, whose music I have always loved, but it struck me, whilst watching, how all of their songs were pretty similar in structure and style, compared with MK's, which are so diverse.

Many thanks SL1 :thumbsup
