Title: Border Reiver - single
Post by: dmg on August 13, 2009, 12:11:49 AM
Yup, it's up on YouTube now.  Says it was released to radio on 10th of August?

Post by: TommyJ88 on August 13, 2009, 01:15:46 AM
That's the same thing the Universal site said, so I'd guess we'll start hearing Border Reiver on the radio any day now.

To be honest, I can't imagine many radio stations playing it, here in the UK anyway. Terry Wogan might give it a token play, but I think it's too "fiddle-dee-diddle-dee" for mainstream radio, sadly.

Post by: Love Expresso on August 13, 2009, 11:29:40 AM
Yeah,
I am not sure if this is really an official single release or just a promo single adressed to radio stations? A "real" release would be great however, there ils always
some hope for one or two new tracks on a single...

I think that Remembrance Day will be released as enhaced CD. With a full video (it is 1.20 min episode only on Get Lucky DVD). It is just my private forecast.

I almost never listen to the radio anymore.  I have bad reception where I live.   What kind of station would play Border Riever?
Title: Re: Border Reiver - single
Post by: ustas on August 14, 2009, 09:14:15 PM
IrinRose,

Answer is above on my previous post - you can listen to Border reiver at http://www.ndr2.de/media/webradiosoundcheckneuemusik100_type-flash.html

Border reiver is 8th song and NDR online player does not skip button, you should listen to 7 songs before Border reiver. Or if you have broadband internet you can download full programme http://ndr.ic.llnwd.net/stream/ndr_ndrloop18_hi_mp3 , it could be faster.

P.S. Of course I do not know what kind or station plays in " A Place Where You Used To Live". But I know that in US - Radio WTTS 92.3FM, KFOG and World Cafe have a good connection with Mark or his management and as usual they have exclusive material for listeners.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00m456s

He intro's Border Reiver at about 2:41:30 on the program (just drag the indicator along). Interesting that most of the intro flute was bye passed. Alex said after the song that "He's doing an Eric Clapton thingy 1-2-3-4-5-6 nights at the RAH starting on the 30th May next year".  :P

I see Jon Allan, who supported MK and EH in 2006, gets more plays than MK!

Also Michael Bolton gets more plays than MK, which is surely a joke. That guy is a complete ******* ****. I want to start an "I Hate Michael Bolton" thread but better not.
Title: Re: Border Reiver - single
Post by: Barzofarhyme on August 24, 2009, 12:29:30 PM
I thought i recognised the guy. I'm pretty sure he said that MK was going to be playing on a track on his album but i can't find any trace of it. Incidentally i've actually seen Michael Bolton live a couple of times and he really does have an excellent voice and puts on a pretty good live show. He also had Kenny G playing with him on one of the gigs and that guy really is amazing. On both the occasions we have seen him live my wife was pregnant so we won't be going to see him again  ;D ;D. Also,i've never been surrounded by so many screaming females as i was at the NEC in  Birmingham when seeing him live  8) ;D

Incidentally Dusty,if you start a " I hate Michael Bolton" thread you'll have my very angry wife to deal with and i wouldn't recommend that  ;D

Barzofarhyme. You are correct. Jon Allen did indeed say that Mark had agreed to play on a track on his album. But for some reason, the song "Sarah" wasn't included on Jon's debut release.

However it does appear on a CD called "The Bablake Sessions" produced by the Bablake School in Coventry in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Universal told me there will not be any promo single from this song because everything is digital these days.
As soon as they will get an promo I will be the first to know.

Also in a couple off days I will have a price to win at my site. Don't know when but I think this week.
