Mark writes film score!

John and Mike are doing a UK tour in the New Year with a guitarist called John Doyle.  I will most likely go to see them in Liverpool or Manchester!

I wouldn't go and see Mike if he was playing across the road!

the longer he spends in the company of guys like him McCusker, Tim O'Brian and Phil Cunningham the bigger influence they are having on the sound of his albums.  

I think it's the other way round- They are on his albums because he wants that sound on his albums. Which is fine by me by the way, I love that kind of music!

Me too!    Transatlantic Sessions, Celtic Connections - I love it all!

I don't mind a slight Celtic influence on a couple of songs but it's becoming overkill these days, especially on tour when John and Mike play on - or rather over - everything.

I feel that Mark feels he has an obligation to hire these guys now he knows them which is ridiculous.  Mike was only needed for the GL tour because they couldn't play Border Reiver without him.  Now that tour is over, get rid.

Most of time McCusker was enough and McGoldrick to my taste was too much (esp on SAN).

Long time no news on this thread. But according to Guy from his today's forum posts, Mark is/has not working/worked on a soundtrack so far. Huh?
Is this another movie that has been shelved?

I've often wondered if Mark likes his guitar low because he finds it difficult to sing that particular song (due to the pace of the lyrics) and play guitar at the same time.

I've never really liked What It Is. First of all, the guitar riff is a bit banal, but the song has too many words, too many words coming too fast, or too many long words coming too fast. Before each verse he has to take one deep breath, and then at the riff, he goes "aaaahhhhhhh".

A very gay dancing Spidey AND saying that you don't like What It Is - that's TWO heresies at ONE day! Will you stop it please! I am a big fan of Spidey!

LOL! This thread has gone way off topic, But I'm not gonna help!
I think McGoldrick's "elbow" pipes went perfectly with "Done with Bonaparte" and "A Night in Summer long Ago" this last tour. And, of course, "Privateering" had 'em too. So if he's gonna keep songs like that on the next tour (as he'll probably keep Bonaparte), MK has good reason to keep McGoldrick in the band. And I loved the citterns in "Telegraph Road" on the Get Lucky Tour, although they were mixed waaaaaay too low in Simfy's recordings.

IMBD says "Private Peacuful" is in post-production, and will be released in 2012, and everytime Guy is asked, he doest give clues about it.

Strange.

[Pottel]

maybe he is simply not involved and can't be bothered to ask??

The film afore mentioned surely has just been released as 'War Horse' which we incidentally have seen twice already, and no Mark did not do the soundtrack.
