Title: Where is the Man?
Post by: Neville Sherman on December 11, 2015, 01:37:52 PM
Not seen the Man pumping us snippets of info for a few weeks now! Hope all okay! Anybody know anything? Maybe they are putting together a special 3CD collection for us all for Christmas!

Ho - ho - ho!

Neville in Kampala ;D

Yes, I am also concerned from the lack of ANY info... nothing like: "Wow, can't wait until January to get back in the studio"...  :'( :'( :'(

I think one of the reasons is that after the end of a enjoyable tour he doesn't want to be bothered repeatedly by questions about Danny joining the new cabaret attempt.

I'm missing Guy too.  I hope everything is OK with him, but maybe he is too busy getting on with his own album!    :)

When nothing needs to be said silence is priceless isn't it?

Nothing to be said looks like bad news

Tomorrow is 30 days since his last post! All the years I have been following this forum, never this long with some snippet of news! Come on, somebody ask him what he's up to!! Hope he's okay!

I said the day he posted his last tour diary entry, that I was nervous by the vibe of it. It just didn't feel the same as most have in the past. I don't feel like there was energy about what was next.... As I posted then, it wouldn't be like Mark to really have an actual 'end' to things.... Hopefully I am wrong, but it feels like the train is slowing down...

Maybe there's a slow train coming!  ;)

Wouldn't worry - I'm pretty sure there must be hundreds of unreleased songs in the "scrapyard" from over the years that he could go and record tomorrow if he wanted.

Indeed, many of which are already recorded!

It would be weird specially now that he was The producer of MK last record, but, what if MK decides to stop working with Guy by whatever reason and thats why there is silence?

There will be a big hole in the information about MK and recording...

Pretty unlikely but who knows...

I'd love an album full of unreleased stuff from the 70s/80s/90s.  Some great stuff in there we've already heard and I'm sure that there are some more gems too.

MK and family were in The Maldives during the Christmas holidays.

The Maldives? Very nice! Been there! Great place to relax, chill out, ponder, talk to the family and write some new songs to record in 2016!

Ben Knopfler was in Cancun, according to his facebook.
