Mark will perform at Sir Bobby Robson celebration...

Hi, all!

It seems that Mark will perform at a fundraising event for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation and the Alan Shearer Foundation on 18th February...

...and 'Try a Little Tenderness' with Ruby Turner.

Astonishing.

Thank you, wateroftyne!   Can you tell us a bit more, please?   :)

I notice on The Sage website that the concert was to be filmed for a DVD.

I can, because I played the bass   :)

It was a great night - brilliant atmosphere, and lots of money raised for the Bobby Robson foundation.

Mark's only contribution was guitar on Try a Little Tenderness and, after that, Going Home. Both were glorious, even if I am a little bit biased.

Here's a pic...

Thank you so much, wateroftyne!   I would have loved to have been there - such a beautiful venue too!   I know this sounds a silly question, but did you speak to MK?    :)

I did. He was very, very pleasant and worked very hard to make sure everyone in the band was happy.

How wonderful that you had the chance to play with MK - something most people can only dream of!   He sounds a really nice person too!   :)

That looks like a huge shaving mirror on stage, magnifying Mark. Unusual!

or simply be there :-)
@wateroftyne: how did it come about?
also, will a dvd indeed be released?
or, does a "fan recording" (audio) exist?
awesome for you to be able to experience such a one off experience. funnily enough i feel no jealousy at all, just glad for you ;-)
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....
