Possibly, can also tie in with the day the music died.

The quote says Sam Fender did a guitar take on a Mark Knopfler song.  So probably for the charity project, but on a song written by MK?

Hope not - can't stand the guy.  His antics at Glastonbury were a disgrace and his performance a lowlight for the middle-class wannabe yuppies attending.  Just my opinion of course.

I like him, seems like a nice kid, doing "real" music and showing respect for legends like MK and that other guy he did the documentary about. Good luck to him!

Yeah I just read a review and can't see what the problem is?

He’s cancelled a load of tour dates to look after his mental health.

He started climbing up the scaffolding at the side of the stage teasing the security.  He also wasn't really very good.  It could've been the TRNSMT show.

The horror!

My bet is it will be out earlier next year, to coincide with the RAH gigs in march for the Teenage Cancer Trust, that happens every year, during that month.

When do they usauly announce those gigs?

I have just checked the TCT site, the Buddy site and the RAH site. No info about album nor concert. Is the concert an annual thing in March? The hall already has concerts out for December, but no TeenageCancerTrust. So what is happening? MK gets involved in the project and the whole thing stops? I mean, it really can't be like that

Reply from TCT: "Yes, we are planning these events for the end of March. The announcement and tickets will most likely be live in the next  4 to 6 weeks but do keep an eye out on our social media for announcement"

Coincidentally, Guy says we are reading about the TCT project in the next few weeks.

Logical says there must be one of those concerts linked to the record, but Guy also says he's mixing it soon, so it sounds like unlikely the record could be out in time for the concerts that usually happen late March early April.

Also seems unlikely MK would be involved, because usually what we wish him to do is opposite to what he wants to do, but if there is a concert of a record in which he apparently was so involved, I guess that at least there is a chance even a very small one.

The RAH is available between 20 and 26 of March, and after that is busy with many events so the Teenage Cancer Trust concerts are going to be in those days.

Now let's wait that one of those concerts are dedicated to that record and hopefully they manage to convince MK to play at least a couple of songs

The RAH dates from March 20-26 are "official" since TCT was advertising for volunteers for these 7 nights on its website.
But since Guy stated that nothing was planned regarding live performances I don't think we'll see an MK performance in less than 8 weeks for which the planning would be complete by now.

I'm on that website and don't see that advertising but, yes, it just confirm my guess, lol

However, the only way I see MK taking part on this is playing a couple of songs himself or with other musicians, that only would need a week or a couple of days to rehearse, like when he played at the Bill Wyman 80th birthday.
