Oh no not Michael Ball....Pleeeeeeassssse :disbelief
I’m no fan of Michael Balls and I never listen to his show, but last year I caught a bit and he did a segment where he inducts singers into a hall of fame just for a bit of fun I guess. The bit I heard was him inducting MK and he was very complimentary about him. I think if I remember rightly he also said he was underrated.

MB if I'm correct is actually a fan of MK, and that would make sense with his 'underrated' comment. Im sorry but i just cannot stand MB as a singer....

Hi Knopflerfan - thanks for the welcome 🙂👍

I’ve only been a fan and follower of MK / DS for 36 years so a bit late to find the AMITers!

Looks a friendly crowd though so look forward to getting involved.

Pity no live tracks on the Michael Ball show - roll on next year for those!

Good on you son!!
I've personally been following MK since the age of 10 - 33 years ago!!..
Anyway a warm welcome to AMIT and look forward to hearing from you.

Yes a pity nothing was played LIVE but I guess realistically there was no real time given for any LIVE performance being that MK was given around 5 minutes!!!! :disbelief

Border Riviera is a kind of mistake you can't come up with even if you try. Border River is pretty predictable, but riviera is another level :lol

Actually I get MB's mistake because here in the 'West Country' of the UK we have for example the Cornish Riviera - (Italian for Coastline)

I guess MB should know as he only gets to sing/bellow at small quaint theatres along the said Rivieras!!!!!! :lol :lol :lol :lol

Indeed, MK was noted on two occasions mentioning ebay stuff. He obviously casts an eye as to what is being offered for signing. Yes indeed Crocks doing his bit for the fans!!!

Just watching the video it does look like it.
Once one is so close to him oneself one becomes part of the freakshow without thinking.

I would forgive MK the riviera thing, he was reading an email live on air to millions of people so easy to make a mistake.

I liked the interview, MK seemed relaxed. MB did seem like a fan, more of a DS fan probably so wouldn't know all the titles on the solo albums.

Wasn't it MB who said riviera and MK who corrected him?   That's what I heard anyway, or maybe I misheard.   :hmm

Yes it was indeed MB who read out the email and MK duly corrected him. Dusty certainly meant MB when you read his post...

"Down the Road To Wherever?"  Nice to see he did his homework.

I think the person phoned in was from Inverness and was going to the Glasgow concert.  MB said they had written it down wrong, indicating someone taking the calls had taken the note wrong.
