I thought that too!  Maybe the photo was taken earlier in the year or maybe the bushes are evergreen!   

It's in aid of The Small Steps project and he made a similar donation in November 2020.

That pictures are clearly made during the summer, I don't think MK would pose with a t-shirt in November in "sunny and warm" England.

It could have been taken in October, because we had some unseasonably warm weather then, even in the north, in fact we wore our shorts again for a while!   

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

 

Yes, it's true!             We went walking in the Yorkshire Dales and we had our shorts on!   

I hope you had other items of clothing on too!!!!

it is just that the Beaulie concert that i attended was even better :-)

why ?

Actually in Beaulieu MK had problems with his voice, he was having warm drinks during all the show. I also think the London ones were better.

The atmosphere in London on the 1st night was about the best I've experienced.  When the first notes of WOL started and big John walked on the roof lifted off!

Love his slide playing and love that guitar. I got one in the summer (red though not black. Consoling myself with the fact that it makes me a bit like MK and a bit like Hank Marvin too…)

Oh yeah, Mark's slide playing is so tasty! I've heard a lot of slide players, and while many of them are extremely technically skilled, Mark, as always, goes out and blow them out of the water with a couple of notes. And within his own songs too!

Danelectro's are pretty cheap also, even vintage ones, which is a nice addition indeed.

Yes, and I remember this as if it were yesterday

i still found the whole evening in Beaulie to be very magical.
also, it was the very last time "Dire Straits" performed together :-)

Sonny Landreth is the top for me.

When I hear Mark play slide, it reminds me more of George Harrison than Chris Rea.

If you want to hear the tastiest slide playing on the planet, check out Jack Pearson, the man is a monster player:

JB is a pretty good player of slide too..

I guess that the venue itself was part of the magic but I wasn't there so I can't say. Musically speaking I've always felt that the third night was the best. Was it because it was recorded, I don't know?

I agree with the last Straits thing, up to now and probably forever.

If those guys had toured, I would've done the whole tour . My guess is that the RPD 2003 tour would have been close if you consider the line-up but it had never happened so... we will never know.

Who's the drummer behind Mark?
