I don’t need tickets as I’ve already won in the contest, but I’m so thrilled other AMITers will be there! I never thought I’d have the opportunity to even be in the same room again with MK and other fans since he retired from touring—I’m quite emotional about it.

Btw, i need the names of ALL the people who are going

Why didn‘t they tell us a bit earlier?😢

It is related to legal issues around the record company competition.
But instead of being negative, how about we celebrate the great news that another 20 fans will get to go? I think it's a wonderful gesture by MK's management and I'm so grateful to them for reaching out, even though I can't go. :)
-
I am really happy for anybody from our group who can go and hope for a video of the event later on!

Martin messaged me to let me know only three of his party can make it, so we now have NINE tickets left to give away.

Hi, Can i change from 2 to 3 tickets, will update you. Since we still have some left.

Me and DMG are both "Scotties", and coincidentally we are also both miracle workers, but teleportation is beyond our abilities. For now. :)
By the way, we need to get the names to MK's management by 7pm tonight (UK time) so get in quick if you can go!
-
A lot of new registrations though. :think

Who cares, the main thing is that these otherwise empty seats get used by fans. Anyone making the effort to go to this at less than 24 hours notice is surely a true fan.

How big is this event, do we know ?

No, but i asked for a chance for meet and greet. And there was no chance for this event... unfortunately

Good to see he is doing a lot of promo stuff for the new album. In a week it will be over.
-

I am not sure if I read about 75 seats somewhere
-
Can i post all the names in the opening topic, just for checking?
Will delete after it's done
-
Still a ticket left?
Just checking the flights.

This is an amazing opportunity, and I have already registered my name. Will we get more information as to where the event is taking place?

OMG. I don't have a passport, just an ID card :-(
Does anyone know if I can get a passport "on the fly" at the airport"?

From Stuttgart. I just phoned the German Federal Police in Stuttgart: That "ad hoc" document you get at the airport is not valid for the U.K., only for EU countries.
-
That means you can book me out. :-(
But there seems to be an online party on Mark's youtube channel at 5 PM (UK time).

No, I'm just as chaotic :-)
But this police person told me they wouldn't actually let me board the plane with that piece of paper.
-
Some months ago my husband was sent back in Amsterdam, no chance without a passport.
-
I’m sorry to say, no children under 16 for this event.
-
PM’d you
-
It closes 20.00 and 19.00 UK time.. so 56 minutes left
-
I have a passport but no flight and work to do😃
-
Any left please?? Only my wife and I may well be able to make it...
-
I hope it is very central, need to leave London 16.30 :D (there was a train leaving...)
-
Wow, what a great gesture of Mark's management. :thumbsup I am happy for everyone who can be part of this. Have a great time, everybody!
I'll join the online party on Mark's youtube channel. It's better than nothing. ;)
-
I told my family already to leave me alone during the youtube party!
-
I want to thank you for the effort of contacting the management (or was the other way?) and getting this tickets, with no concerts at all, this kind of things is the only we have left.
Thanks for the work and for the organisation!
Amit rules!

I guess they hired a small venue for that, 75 seats as said here is quite intimate.

Congratulations to everyone that with very short notice would be in London seeing MK tomorrow.
Congratulations to the Amit team that organised it with very short notice.
Thanks to the Management team for reaching Amit and offer this great opportunity.
Despite I'm not able to attend because of the short notice, I'm very happy for everyone else, today has been so incredibly and a day to mark in "a Mark in time"!

An amazing event with around 70 fans, made fully welcome, we had 30-40mins with 'the master' and three videos including one from 'the boy' ep which has a fantastic 'Celtic' feel!
-
What an event, it was fantastic. The song from the EP was my favourite. Bless Mark though, he does ramble off with his answers.

The new song from the EP is amazing if you like celtic feeling.

Yes, but it was very good to see him that happy. But would have needed indeed twice the time to answer the questions. I hope that his back won't get worse and is not very painful.

He did not walk at all well and was in fact slightly bent over bless him...

Another I took of 'The Master' today but with the ODR backscreen

How do you know?

All Comers would make more sense for a boxing song, but All Corners could also possibly work.

It’s a reasonable question?! Every other source says it’s All Comers :)
-
All Comers would make more sense for a boxing song, but All Corners could also possibly work.
I stand corrected (it's been a long, day!) it looks like the track is 'All comers' which to makes more sense to me - All Comers to take on the boxer in the ring....
-
Indeed a looong day. Finally back home now.

Hi Knopflerfan! I'm so glad to hear that you all had a fantastic time with MK. I wish I could have been there with you. Thanks for the pictures and the info about the new song which I hope we will all be able to hear soon. :)

Hello Superval, lovely to hear from you and trust all is well? Yesterday, looking back on the experience of seeing MK was like the many times we have all met up before a concert. For example waiting in line in Regent Street to then be hugged by Ingridswing was just awesome!!
Then the time came to go in and it was similar feeling to say going into the Royal Albert Hall to see 'the Master' perform! This time of course 'The Master' performed differently, still excellent of course!
What I'm saying is, you were all in my thoughts as the master unfurled his anecdotes....
-
Indeed a looong day. Finally back home now.
A long day, but utterly worth it I would say! Thanks again my friend for organising - forever indebted!
The memories of seeing 'the master' yesterday will live with me forever!

Wow what an experience this was!
As Knopflerfan says, similar feeling as matchday with concerts.
Great to be in the same room as MK after all these years.
Mark talks like a happy man.
He does drift of sometimes, which can become a little boring. But at the same time he was very funny as well.
I do feel for Mark as to the way he's walking.
First impressions aren't always completely right, but what a song All Comers is!!
-
Congratulations to everyone who were able to make it. Sounds like a fun event.
When you say Mark tends to ramble or drift off, how do you mean? Like he steers his answers into the usual anecdotes and stories? Or does he start talking about irrelevant stuff?

Well summed up Vesper - I like the rambling on because that is just pure MK! If he had his way we'd still be in the cinema listening to his many tales!
Maybe it's time for MK to write a book perhaps..

Yes, he steered some things into the usual anecdotes, for example playing "why bother" with the Everly's.
-
Looking forward to seeing the video of the event, if indeed it was filmed. Was it?
Oh, and what's this thing around Mark's wrist? A watch? I'm just wondering, because, you know, he's known to play the guitar occasionally.
-
Yes it was filmed in entirety, and some attendees were interviewed at the end for their reactions. I was advised likely to appear on Mark’s You Tube and Instagram channels.
Have to echo other comments, what a lovely event this was. Mark relaxed, happy and all in an intimate setting. I’m sure that there would be a market and demand for ‘an audience with Mark’ even if he never even touched a guitar in public again. There must be so much to tell that we’ve never heard yet.....
Many thanks to him and his management for enabling this gem of a memory :clap
Oh, and All Comers is an absolute cracker - uplifting or what!!
-
What songs did the three videos shown refer to?
-
What songs did the three videos shown refer to?
All Comers, Ahead of the Game, Two Pairs of Hands.
But they were nicely made together with some interlude, maybe trying to make them feel like one performance.

Did the audience have a chance to actually ask any questions or was it all pre-arranged, similarly to the conversation Paul Sexton had with MK at Christies?

Questions all pre-arranged - mind you the questions only just made the slot as MK was quite content on talking!

Absolutely! I mean, what a life he's had. Touring the world, meeting so many people and having so many experiences. He could talk for a week and not cover half of it.

Always nice to see and hear Mark, and it must have been a thrill to be in the same room. What's a bit of a problem, though, is that unless someone actively fights his temptation to re-tell the same stories (and Paul Sexton, unfortunately, doesn't), he'll come back to them again and again. Sometimes even on a word-by-word level (Did you know that they used to call Why Worry "Why Bother"? Now you know.)
I'm not blaming Mark for this. I guess he's developed this habit at a time when most fans would read/watch one or two interviews per album - the ones that happened to be published by their local newspapers and TV/radio stations. In that old world of media, having a deck of well-prepared answers made perfect sense. You could do interviews (for which you didn't have the time, anyway) on autopilot, and still didn't risk boring people.
Things have changed dramatically, however. The internet allows each and every interview to live forever, and wherever, so you better come up with something fresh each time you give one. Again, I'm not blaming Mark - he just sticks to what worked for all his career, which is perfectly understandable. The interviewers, however - this being their job - should know better.
