Thanks! I'm seeing John with his band on 5th May. It would be great if MK turned up there too! Wishful thinking! :think

So MK will perform one (?) song there - with a full band I guess? Mighty Man? Haul Away? Laughs and Jokes? Kingdom of Gold?

Congratulations to John McCusker who is to be presented with the Good Tradition Award at this year's BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. Mark will join John and his band at the awards ceremony on the 27th April at the Royal Albert Hall.

I guess they will playa McCusker song as it's MK who plays with John band

Maybe not; when Mark joined Paul Brady they did Baloney Again.

Here's a link to the line-up:

I notice that Mark is listed separately. Is he going to perform on his own perhaps (with his promo band), or maybe join John and his band too. :think
-
^ I believe that's what John wrote

^ I believe that's what John wrote
John isn't very specific though. From what John wrote I think Mark will play in his band, but since Mark is listed separately I also think he will perform his own set.

Would it be radio or TV broadcasted?

Since it's called The Radio 2 Folk Awards I would think it would be broadcast on Radio 2, possibly live. :)

It says on the RAH website "The event will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 2 and will be available to watch online via live stream on the Radio 2 website. It will also be available to watch on the BBC iPlayer and the Red Button service." :)

Somebody cleverer than me can try to capture the stream, I'll record it to DVD off the telly just in case. :)

It used to be relatively easy on my PC to capture audio but on a Mac it's near impossible. The sound card settings are quite restricted. Never captured streaming video though.

It's actually possible to do it, I will DM you the program I use for it, I have a Mac too:-) You're right about the sound card settings, it's difficult but it's possible! Did cost me a complete afternoon to figure it out though ;D

For the distant fans, it would be interesting to see this even on the tube. Anyway. BTW, have you heard about MK's new collaborations with Zucchero and with Brian Bennett?

Tickets arrived today - soooooooooooooooo excited!!!!! ;D ;D

What do you guys think MK will play?

Interesting arrangement but better with the full band. Vocal not that great. Nice to see Phil on accordion.

It's strange, MK always seems uncomfortable on these occasions, even though he has played Haul Away hundreds of times. He would have been better wearing something more casual too. :think

Each to their own Val, I thought he looked very cool. :) Reminiscent of Montserrat in 97.

He does seem uncomfortable these days, light years from the Live Aid/Prince's Trust years.
I thought he looked pretty sharp though.

The suit was fine - just the shirtsleeves were rather long! He did look well though. :)

It's been a very difficult period for me personally of late but, since we had got tickets for the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards at the Royal Albert Hall, we decided to go anyway and I'm so glad we did. It was a great break for us and a most enjoyable evening.
MK was in very good voice, better, I thought, than the last time I saw him live, which was last October. As someone said earlier, this was an evening of folk music and, even though folk music encompasses a wider range of musical genres and styles these days, it does not stretch to a DS-style performance. "Haul Away" was chosen because it has clear folk music influences (sea shanties and other nautical working songs having long been part of the folk tradition). It was a strong, solid performance of the song.
None of the live performances were shown on the big screens in the hall, only the videos of the various nominees and the tributes to those receiving achievement awards, so those who caught the video side are at an advantage. However, the video is apparently being shown on the BBC Radio 2 website from some time tomorrow (Thursday), I think. One of you tech-savvy people will doubtless be able to do something with that.
John McCusker's speech was very good. I don't think I've heard him talk so much before. And he didn't sound like a lad from Bellshill. One of the Scots reading this may differ but he sounded a bit "posher" than I expected.
I thought Sam Lee singing "Lovely Molly" with the Roundhouse Choir was stunningly good. I don't keep up with the folk world much these days but I had seen the Sam Lee video that was shown along with the videos of the other nominees and I thought that was good. Live, with a larger choir, it was even better. I've never got into Rufus Wainwright but he sang well on Sandy Denny's "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" but then, it's such a great song anyway. Despite the passage of time (or even "thyme" - that's a weak attempt at a joke), Norma Waterson has retained her great voice and it was marvellous to see her. Ditto Joan Armatrading - and solo, too! I found the Irish group Lynched much louder than anybody else and, these days, I tend to think, "Oh no, not another Irish rebel song!". I was also disappointed with The Unthanks at the very end. I like the fact that they'll try almost anything to put over a song. I have't seen clog dancing for probably 50 years or more and I actually enjoy a bit of brass playing, though I'd've preferred a brass band. The main prpblem for me is that I couldn't actually make out the lyrics.
MK's photo appears twice in the programme booklet (once in a sort-of advert for the evening and once in the write-up of the performers - the same photo incidentally.
Must go - just about wound myself down from the night drive home.
-
Thanks for twm's review and Tobben's audio upload. I'm searching on some news websites to see if we can find some nice pro photo shots. And hope we can get the video eventually.

Great picture. Nice version of Haul Away as well. The acoustic guitar makes it a bit less sharp, which I like more. He looks good in the suit!

Interesting you say that because it got me thinking about the next album (if there is to be one) and the possibility it may have some acoustic work on it. First of all there was the Altamira soundtrack, then he has been doing these masterclasses without drums, now this and soon the Chalke Valley thing, I think I read someplace without drums, so perhaps an acoustic folk/celtic album in the offing...

Sounds very plausible to me. It seems he's moving more and more away from the fast playing on the electric guitar. We've seen it on the tour, TR is out and OES is back, which is much more easy to play than TR. Could be an indicator. But we've had suprises from him in the past so anything is possible. I would like it actually, a kind of RPD album.

A few notes on some earlier comments:
1. MK sounded much louder and less nervous in the hall itself. Not noticeably nervous at all from where we sat.
2. As he did just the one song, he had hardly got warmed up.
3. Though he was welcomed, it was not "his" audience really(though he did gain in this regard by being with McCusker crew, who had the unenviable task of opening the evening, so had appeared earlier).
4. I think I'm right in saying that they used on-stage monitors, not in-ear buds (unlike MK at recent shows)
