Yes, thanks for the link!

The Teenage Cancer Trust charity project is still "a few months" away.

Sad to hear: "No tours are planned, unfortunately"

We don't know when this interview took place, only that was published yesterday.

Guy said this in his forum: "More on this in the coming weeks."

Also there is a chance of a live show for that project, I asked Guy on his forum and he answered he can't say yet. Hope there is, and hope involves MK!

I posted just to be a bit more cautions concerning upcoming new projects and just to soften the usual GF bashing afterwards a little.
Two months ago he posted regarding the LH musical: "info on that will be coming very soon"...

[qjamesfloyd]

That charity project sounds like it is going to be good, I wonder if all of it is being recorded at British Grove? I hope David Gilmour is included, Mike Oldfield too, but I doubt that, still sound good.

We all know that "very soon" in Guy's time, could be anytime in the upcoming years, lol

When he says in a couple of weeks it is a more delimited time, probably not two weeks but maybe a month

[MagicElliott]

Anyone listened to the samples on Guy’s site yet?

[Elin N]

Just now! I need to listen to them more, but the first impression is good! My expectations has been low, the High roads album was not a favorite, but this sounds promising  It is kind of strange to think that he is Marks producer, they sound pretty different

[wakeywakey]

I hope it does well for him but his voice just doesn't grab me at all.
I would be more interested if he did an instrumental album.

[qjamesfloyd]

I like Guy's voice, it always reminds me of Paul McCartney.

[Jules]

When I heard the last colaboration with MK with Cliff Richards, Cliff's voice sounded pretty similar to Guy's for me. If someone had told me it was Guy singing instead of Cliff, I would had believed it for sure.

[hunter]

Guy does everything "right", and he does have a pleasant voice, but his albums lack nerve and spark. (Exactly why he shouldn't have such a prominent role in Mark's projects.)

[MagicElliott]

I like Guy’s voice. To me Guy sounds like Guy. I kind of get the comparisons to Paul McCartney and Cliff Richard. I love Paul and the Beatles but Cliff is a tough one for me. I’m 31 so officially too young to like MK so liking Cliff Richard would be an absolute no no. However, if he covers a song I like then what am I to do? I love Buddy Holly’s Rave On but fortunately don’t like Cliff’s cover of it. If Move It, or Gee Whizz it’s You were released by people other than Cliff then would I like the songs? Maybe….tough one.

Anyway back to Guy. I loved the first two albums, High Roads is okay but I didn’t enjoy the samples of this one. He’s gone too synth based for my liking. Too many songs which the vocals sound out of time with the music if you know what I mean. I like acoustic guitar and piano based Guy. Give me Natural Selection any day of the week.

Just like you,I liked the first two albums and my favourite is also Natural Selection.   Guy's voice on that album with Dorrie Jackson's backing vocals are perfect and I liked all of the songs without exception.  Regarding High Roads,  "Another Gale Blows" with Bruce Molsky and "Greenhouse" are nice, but there are a few skippers too.  I'm having a struggle with the latest album - too much synth and no guitar, except on one track and even that is minimal.   All of the songs seem to merge into one, but I am trying, hoping to like it eventually, but time is precious!
