Guy's Forum

Question:  In the spirit of ‘always looking forward’, is there a sliver of possibility of hearing some new music in 2020? Probably the musical is coming which is great and I know you can’t say anything officially but if I was to ask the question, ‘Is 2020 going to be busy for you doing this and that,’ what might you say?

Guy's answer: There’s always a chance. Right now Mark and I are in working on some revisions to the musical which will be at the Old Vic in London in June 2020.

Well, at least we know they are working and not on holidays :-P

I hope whatever they are doing it end recording the Musical cd, and hopefully with MK playing

Thank you jbaent:)

I still believe that we will hear Local Hero MK on the album.

I honestly don't like visiting Guy's Q and A forum anymore. All too often he completely ignores decent, honest questions, and when he decides to answer, the answers are often curt, almost rude. What gives?

Kinda agree.at the same time realising how difficult his position is

I love the answeres and hate the questions.

What you would expect, the majority of questions is something he obviously can't answer (setlist, future releases, plain stupid ones).
For people who ask 10 questions in one question he usually answers only 1, because what else you would expect. Just ask one question...

Actually when I read his forum, the first read I do is always the answer column and if I have free time sometimes read the questions just in case i can help with some answers that Guy didn't feel like answer himself...

His forum is usually where we can know what they are doing, but only if he wants or can answer. That's how we knew he and MK were working in December on some changes for the London run of the Local Hero Musical.

Guy's forum is an open forum and as it is the nearest point to reach Mark it is evident that 99% of the question asked are Mark related and that Guy can't really answer.
So it is a sort of a big frustration being at the same time so close to the Master and still not being able to get communication with him.
Many years ago I was one of these until I realised my mistake.
So once you have revised your behaving things may are going better.

[Mossguitar]

Yep, you have to get his humor, you have to make every question Guy-related and you have to know how to behave properly. If you comply, he’ll answere all your questions. Most questionaires don’t, it seems.

[hunter]

It is quite obvious how Guy has become less and less patient over the years. Fifteen years ago he would answer almost anything, even extensively.

[jbaent]

His forum is quiet these days... not only him answering late but nobody has asked anything in a week!

[Elin N]

The quietness tells me that work is in progress. The secrecy thing is back, so I'm guessing the musical is a big part of what's going on. He knows we would like to know, really, and I think he likes to provide us info when he can

Judging by Guy's answer to my question on his forum, we might have a new Mark Knopfler song issued soon:

Hi Guy,

I this difficult time for everyone around the world, would it be possible for Mark to release a track that has not seen the light of day before? maybe on his YouTube channel? I am sure this would make his fans a bit happier. I understand if this is not possible.

Answer: I’m sure it would be
