Marcus Cliffe or David Bronze on bass, Robbie Mcintosh on guitar, no need to bring Richard and Glenn  however those two could record remote for sure...

They have a very big studio with plenty of isolated rooms, if they follow the advices, it's safe.

It all depends on what Tier London goes into at the end of our current lockdown. If it ends up with the strictest measures then all non essential travel could be banned. 

We will just have to wait and see what happens....

To be honest, Mark has enough local heroes to work with, his "promo band" deserves more, would love to hear them on a new album. Just those two musicians, rhythm guitar player and a bass player bring SO much into the music. Anyway...

I'm fortunate to own a 1964 Fender Concert, 4x10.

Completely useless at home. 

They are lovely amps! And so easy to work on as well.

You could always console yourself with this .

I think it will be only Guy and Mark at the beginning.  After the death of the studio manager, I am sure that everybody will be extremely careful and that the full band will not becoming for a while.
Yes ,and let's hope for a vaccine soon.

Some bands manage to record with the full band without having to get together. I know that's not MK's style, but maybe he would change things a little. A dream that will never come true would be of course an album full of acoustic songs, but I think Mark is not in the shape to pull it off anymore, so not this time I'm afraid. At this point, anything will do as long as they'd decide to create something.

Hi

Finally going through the show as I have a new job where I work from home.

What's the link to your site Pavel?

Congrats on working from home, I did it this way even before the whole lockdown, just love working from home.

I'm sorry I deleted the transcript because I was told to do so, however, it may be helpful in (yet) another project based on the broadcast, we'll see.
