Just listened to GOYS a few times more and I've come to the conclusion that it is, indeed, a trumpet!  Could have sworn it was a sax, though! ;D

Nigel posted on FB that he played Tenor sax on Good on you son

Guy says it was a misprint - it is Nigel on sax!     :smack    :)

We've spent a lot of hot air on this before getting the answer!

A lot of brass and Guy credited on synths rather than keyboards too.  Perhaps GOYS is indeed a good sample of the album.

Yes, my guess was always that the single has been chosen very carefully because of this...

MK alone on Matchstick Man
Like River of Grog
That will be a nice ending song. It could be a nice break in the concerts !

Honestly I can't see Mark doing something solo on tour, maybe with the Other Keyboard Player™, maybe with Richard, but alone? This is very unlikely.

It could be an electric guitar on Matchstick Man.

Was Beryl a sample for Tracker? Not sure, will see

Exactly, and that's my point.  The singles usually aren't good samples of the album, however looking at the credits and the fact that Guy and mk.com state the album has somewhat of a direction change I am thinking that perhaps this time it is different.

We have to trust the Doc, I have a good feeling for this album, but at the same time, trumpet doesn’t mean groove or funk, can be remaining memories of the duet with Chris Botti ! Hope no, I want to dance enough sleeping haha

I do not know the announcements are reliable but: The album stays true to the folk and roots-inflected ambience of his solo material, but introduces new elements of jazz, funk and even a hint of the rockier leanings of earlier days...

And yet: unhurriedly elegant

What does "PRE-release" mean together with this date?
