That kid ("with a face like a bullett")  on the first day at school that asked him the immortal question "Celtic or Rangers", which Mark must have been answered in the right way because he still lives to tell - as he told us in the STP press kit - classic!

Have there been any more impersonations made by MK during interviews?

There was an interview on YouTube from the 80s, recorded at Air Studios in London, I think, where he did a great impersonation of Dylan. He was asked about how he came to produce Infidels I think, and Dylan had said to his manager, with this kind of Jewish New York accent: "You know, I've just been makin' home rekedz [records]. I wanna make a real reked." It was really funny. Couldn't find on YouTube now though.

Plus then you have all the banter and joking with Brendan Croker at the NHB concerts where Mark kind of lets loose. So funny.

Yeah, let's hope that it finds the way to youtube in the future.

Bloody good album, love the raw feel.  MK could learn something from the production style.

[vgonis]

What a nice production. And even though I am not such a big admirer of his vocal abilities, (i don't like his "s", "t" or "j" 's) his voice is not that bad.
He has a long history with music, even if the only glimpses we got were from a little Fry and Laurie episodes or fragments from House. Yes he is no Sinatra, but a lot of people get away with it, Dylan comes in mind. (And yes maybe the other qualities in Dylan's voice makes him the ideal singer for his songs, but you can't deny his voice is no canary)

Agree with both of you, Banjo and Vgonis. As for Hugh's voice, yes, it starts getting on my nerves after a while, too, but I still prefer it over Dylan's anytime  That said, a unique voice with flaws is always better than some perfect casting show voice.
