Nice interview there!

Seems like he's come to terms about shuffling up the setlist.

Mentions playing Dancefloor and Nobody Does That (my two least favourites from the album!) as welll as Matchstick Man solo - also picks out When You Leave as one he looks forward to playing on the tour - discussed playing Your Latest Trick on the last tour too - the odd thing this must pre-date Nigel not being in the tour band as MK talks about Nigel being on the tour a few times.

I thought that Nigel was not in the tour band due to other commitments and another sax player was in?

Will watch later. Yes some songs from the album are welcome at the tour, just hope he still pick some from Privateering / The Ragpickers Dream as well...

Don't forget to post your 10 song must play-setlist in the thread under DTRW NA EU Tour :)

Great interview, Thanks LE!

Reminiscing about Deptford, David & the flat.
"I've really been enjoying the brass in songs.." - Can't argue with that! :)

Me too re the name - but this interview was obviously a while ago as MK speaks about Nigel playing the songs on stage.

You mean that he did not mention OSAAT to be played live ?!
If he does not play it every night I'm gonna turn into a murderer...

Weird that Danny gets a pass but the rest are toast.

I like Danny so I'm not complaining. But it's weird.

Wonder how Danny felt playing in One Song at a Time during the "fakers" line.   :-X

Enjoyed this video.  Sometimes the interviewer's audio wasn't great, didn't have the same production quality as the Tracker video which was produced.  But needless to say some nice insights.  It's nice to see how much passion Mark still has for producing new work.  I keep thinking with every release 'this might be the last one,' but seeing his enthusiasm and delight in having British Grove I think he'll keep going as long as the songs keep pushing. 

I like the fact MK is keen not to go into too much depth about the songs.  I love the fact they can mean whatever to whoever.  I certainly have my own ideas about some of MKs songs.

I think you've answered your own question. Everyone loves Danny, I'd have a beer with him. Bot others... Would you drink with AC?

It's also strange Mark didn't play something and also his heavy breathing in the microphone made me a little bit uncomfortable :think
I still think that the quality of Tracker video and Hansen's movies is the bare minimum of that Mark deserves in the video department.

He was very talkative and it was a good interview!
I wonder who the Interviewer was. No mention at all?
At About Boy he makes a Geordie-remark which is hard to understand and where Mark ansers... Naah..
Wonder what that was about...

The interviewer was hinting that he might be in trouble with Newcastle United fans over the use of the Liverpool song and Mark shrugged it off saying "nah..."  He's not been up north for some time then!

In fact he's totally out of touch with things.  A couple of comments in recent interviews struck me as being rather unpleasant.

I think Mark was trying to imply that the people of Newcastle were very friendly and would take it in good-jest, which I'm sure most would.

It's classic Mark being Mark I guess. In the interview for Guitarist magazine he says something like "I don't want to learn shit on guitar I don't want to learn" which I think was basically a rant towards jazz guitar players with all their modes, scales, etc.

Not going into detail, no!  Scratching the surface I'll say his description of My Bacon Roll and the "school" bit (also said in the Breakfast interview).

The Facebook video is pretty sh*t quality!  Its hardly 4K!

A friend helped me get HD video from FB of this video, but still, not good quality.

Anyone notices there's no EPK this time for the new album?  I assume this video was supposed to be the EPK for the album, but maybe even MK, doesn't satisfy with the quality of the interiview.  That can be the reason why this interview was not included in the box as EPK this time.

It is exactly the kind of interview he would normally use, indeed. I thought it was not too bad actually?

They could have put it into the Deluxe Box at least...
