Variety Club Award documentary 2006

[Jarle]

Probably seen by a lot of you, but this short documentary was new to me. From 2006, when Mark received the Variety Club Award at Newcastle's Civic Centre...

thanks for sharing, never seen before

is Hank Marvin' guitar a 12-burn baldwin ? (at 1:16 and 6:10), very uncommon I think

[dustyvalentino]

I think it's just his 6 string burns but he does play a 12 string too.

Strange to see Mark talking for 5 seconds and then 5 minutes of song. Quite annoying. This video was made by various press kits, RPD, STP, etc.

Guys, where I can get The Ragpicker's Dream EPK? And Golden Heart EPK, too. I saw it once and I want it very much now, I would pay any money for it but never seen it for sale

All Press Kits are listed on On Every Bootleg: http://www.oneverybootleg.nl/presskits_dvd.htm

for TRD, isn't there something on the bonus CD ?
I remember there is CD-rom track with a biography /discography, but not sure if there are some itws on it ?

[foma]

I don't know really. TRD limited edition 2nd disc have just some live recordings. There was an Interview TRD disc, but it's just audio-clips.

Golden Heart EPK I believe came with GH box, I think it almost impossible to get. And where I can get TRD EPK I have no idea at all

[dustyvalentino]

JF, sincere apologies,  I just deleted your post by mistake.   

But no, I didn't realise it was 12 string until I saw this a few years ago.


Funny also that MK got a green 12 string,  same as Hank again!

And you are correct, 6 string at Knebworth.

no soucy Dusty 

So Mark seems to have purchased  a 12 string burn because Hank had one, and the red strat wasn't the only connection with Hank then...

Thanks for the info, I had never realized that before.

To me this guitar looked weird, and I never made the connection with sixties twang music

I love Mark's solo on Angel of Mercy with this guitar, and I love the werchter 81 version, when he is introducing the band during this solo.

What a surprise when we discovered that he played slide on this guitar in early 79 :

Thanks for that link JF and also to Ingo.  A bootleg I never actually don't have!  Great version of this song.

It was great to see/hear Hank play the 'Burns Marvin' for 'The Rise & Fall Of Flingel Bunt' during The Shadows two farewell tours we were lucky enough to go to...
