Hi This is Martin Chittock. I live in London and my sons and I would LOVE to go - especially as my deluxe box set isn't showing up until Saturday or Monday! Any chance I can have four please?

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.

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. :)

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!

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.

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.

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.

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....

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....

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.
Title: Re: 20 seats giveaway (CLOSED)
Post by: Harry on April 13, 2024, 01:33:22 PM
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!!

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.

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.
