New for 2022

[jbaent]

I'm still wishing that this 2022 not only have the charity project, and hopefully the new MK record, but also the Local hero musical back to London stages, and also the cd of the musical.

Which charity project? I haven‘t heard of this yet

When I was called by phone by the Old Vic, they said to me that they wish to be able to have Local Hero on their stage when the pandemia allows such a play with so many people on stage. I received today a mail from the Old Vic with their schedule for this year and, those plays between two and five people only. So they didn't schedule any big one yet.

The last date of their schedule is 9th July 2022 so, if there is any chance for Local Hero at the Old Vic, it would be starting in July, maybe August / September?

However, from all that was said at the time, I'm under the impression that the musical is going to move to other theatre. Most of West End ones have some musicals represented...

Let's hope that "Soon" is soon really.

According to Mark's social media, Mark and the band are at British Grove recording for Mark's next album, which will be released in 2023:

Interesting. I was kind of hoping for a late 2022 release... Around October or November, maybe.

Oh no! I thought about 2022

In 2023???

Hey, microphones doesn't move on their own, you need some time to play with their placement

[Robson]

I hope it will be January 2023.

March, April 2023, more likely April.

But why??? So long
This is over a year of waiting

[rmarques821]

Unless... Mark is planning to tour after the release of the album and wants the world to be completely Covid-free!

But why??? So long
This is over a year of waiting

Because the places where cds and lps had to be made are very busy and have a lot of delays because lack of materials.

Absolutely, and this chip shortage drives me nuts... The world is crazy so no wonder the date is pushed way back. Rather than announce it and then postpone it, just put it more than a year later. Wise choice! I'll not talk about that you don't need to produce physical albums in 2022 anymore, but anyway... I think they will still keep making CDs even a thousand years from now it seems.
