Saying that his singing last night was crap has nothing to do with "worrying". But I would not say too loud that MK was not good on the show. Sue Ellen might turn up and punch you right onto your nose...

His performance wasn't that good on the show and he obviously saw that himself. If I speak for myself I have no doubts that when he's ready for the the tour, it sounds a lot better, he has his 'normal' band members etc etc. No worries guys, Mark is age-ing but as long as he can come up with an album such as Tracker where his singing sounds better than ever.. You shouldn't worry, every little thing's gonna' be alright! :)

Quite agree, MK will be fine after a few rehearsals - don't worry.
He is certainly not like a certain other performer where people walk out of his shows!!!! :lol

He's hardly gone down the drain when he's just released the best album for years!

Indeed!

But as a songwriter?

Certainly not 'down the drain' in the Songwriting department either IMHO.....



No, no, no! You took the exact opposite sense of my question.

As a songwriter he may have just released the best album for years but my guitar hero is slowly fading.

Yes, agree. MK just needs a few rehearsals and he will be fine!!

Shouldn't he have done that before a live TV performance?  Not very professional IMO.

I have always thought that MK looks uncomfortable on this sort of TV show.   Just look at his body language - wringing his hands and generally looking ill at ease.  He's much better on stage, in front of a large audience where he can't see their faces, apart from the first rows, of course!   He has always struck me as very nervous in front of the camera, especially where there's a small audience.   ;)

I would agree on this.  This is why he always likes to visit the same shows, feeling comfort with hosts that he already knows.

Yes he is always very nervous, certainly not a TV or interview chap.
He was espeically nervous at our little 'show' in Bridport but he soon relaxed and did his thing, He even answered questions quite happily from the audience too.
You imagine yourself recording an album quite a few months ago and then suddenly having to get into the spirit of promoting it on tv/radio and then taking it on the road at the age of 65....

Geez, you're all talking like he's ancient and it's amazing he can still walk or something!  He's only 65 and that's not old these days.  He's had a good life, living in luxury in good health and not having to work hard or under any stress so I don't really see why it's so amazing he can still play a guitar at 65 years of age - he damn well should!  And be able to do it bloddy well too!  There are many other musicians his age and older still producing music too.
