Title: Tony Christie At British Grove Studios
Post by: qjamesfloyd on June 02, 2023, 10:48:25 AM

Tony Christie has recorded a special track at British Grove Road studios, this article says Mark let him use the studio for free, it also states that there are other famous musicians on the track, I wonder if Mark is on it?
