First I've heard of it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garrick_Club

To be honest I'm a bit surprised (and a little disappointed?) that MK is a member of an exclusive gentleman's club, I would have thought that he would be above that sort of thing. 

[superval99]

I hope there will be some REAL fans there and not just stuffy members who will not appreciate MK's music.  I must admit, I am quite surprised really, that he would be a member of an exclusive club.

I don't believe it. Looks like inaccurate information to me (or, to use a technical term: bullsh*t).

also, thanks to management/TK for provinding us with this information, when all tickets are sold out...
sure hope someone will get in and tape...

[superval99]

Thanks are due to Emily Andler on MKNews Forum, not TK or management.

Hmmm...If this is true ( It's hard to believe for me   ) I wonder why there are tickets when it is "an exclusive gentleman's club" and are the tickets for the members only?

Sorry, Maarten, I'm not up to speed today!

I just read it on MK news also and because I was curious about this club also, I posted some information from Wikipedia there!

Information Wikipedia, why I think Mark is there at the right place:
The original plans state that The Garrick Club is instituted for the general patronage of drama; for the purpose of combining the use of a Club, on economic principles, with the advantages of a literary society; for bringing together supporters of drama; and for the formation of a theatrical library, with works on costume. It also has a significant art collection and various theatrical artefacts.

IF the information it true then I think it is an honour for Mark to be part of this club. Not because it is exclusive and only for a few rich people, but because (If I understand completely) this is a club for very intelligent people who come together and talk about books perhaps art and serious things that happens in the world!

Besides being a great and wonderful artist, we all know that Mark loves art, to read books and of course he is very intelligent! I think he is a man that fits in all worlds!

My Dutch sister is correct.!!

Mark is, like the rest of us, entitled to do what he wants with his money and free time.

That he has chosen to join - presumably by invitation - an exclusive club that is frequented by artists and patronises the Arts, is his business. Personally I'm impressed!

[dustyvalentino]

You are of course correct, MK is free to do what he wants.

However, I think those of us who are a bit surprised about MK's membership of this "exclusive" (that is to say it EXCLUDES people, Jeremy Paxman for one if the wiki entry is to be believed) club, would be so because it just doesn't seem like his style.

Normally he seems like he tries to be as normal and down to earth as possible when he's not performing and stuff. Whether it's related to the arts or no, I just find these type of private clubs a bit silly, a relic of a bygone era in British history. Any club where members can "blackball" new recruits and/or exclude women just seems a bit dated to me.

As Groucho Marx said "I wouldn't want to join a club that would have someone like me as a member."

If MK is going to play there, Guy must be in the line-up too. Who would be a volunteer to ask him??
