Anyone think Ed Bicknell’s going to be there? Here’s something I don’t remember reading before: https://hullalumni.me/2015/12/17/the-who-dire-straits-and-the-union-ents-committee/

He should be invited, he is a big part of the DS success too.

He will for NHB induction

LOL
Interesting but here is in the comments, with many replies from Ed, e.g. saying a straits concert would cost 285000£ a day on the oes tour

I was contacted by someone from the hall of fame asking me about a photo he saw on my site. I took this opportunity to ask if MK will be at the ceremony. Reply  (quote);

"Yes, Mark will be at the ceremony! We’re all very excited"

That is great news!

Kind regards,

Jeroen
I really hope it's true and official.. Thanks for the info.

It's true, I know because a group of promoters, the same guys that own Rock in Rio, tried to bring the OES tour to Brazil but had to give up due to high costs which were boosted by local currency weakness. It got even worse when Ed demanded two airplanes to bring their equipment over.

And we wait for some (any) news from MK/DS? :disbelief

It's DS and ABBA who are the grumpiest bands ever at reuniting.

Bands can split in many different ways.
Many bands keep good relations between members after separation

Even from ABBA there is 1 clip on YouTube where they perform all together on stage. That is from 3/4 years ago where Bjorn and Benny got some kind of reward. It was awful but they did it  ;D
But is was also nice in a way....

Not only the grumpiest, but also one of the most "expensive" bands to do a proper reunion. I heard many times about ABBA turning down multi-million offers, and I'm pretty sure Mark always get those, too, and refuse to do it even if it would double his entire net worth. I respect that.

Seems like Guy is not answering any questions about DS and the Hall of Fame.
http://guyfletcher.co.uk/dr-fletch-questions/
Although i think a simple yes or no would do fine. With yes, a lot of fans are happy and after a few days everybody moves on and with a no some will be dissapointed. Either way it stops all the questions on his forum about this subject. My point i think is to be clear about it. I know it is his forum and he can only speake for Guy but after working with MK for more then 30 years it is unavoidible that people are asking those kind off questions.

Will we know if MK will attend/perform at least 24 hours before the event or not even that ?
