Teenage Cancer Trust /Buddy Holly Fundation charity project

I thought that someone from the project would be amongst the "and friends" and would annonce it with something like "and we have more! We have been working on a project(explaining the project), and on *date* the album will be out!" The downside about knowing a tiny bit about something, is that I want to know more and end up being tired of the waiting.

Lol

Every time I see there's a new post in this thread I enter thinking "finally the announcement" and find disappointingly there is nothing yet, lol

I have the same I wonder who will surprise me first.

I dreamt it’s a cover up for a duets album Mark’s releasing. How awesome would that be? Of course I woke up and realised it’s not the case but it’s still cool.

GF:

...I recorded Sting, and Sam on the same day for the ‘ongoing’  TCT / Teen Cancer America project which I am producing. Bruce Springsteen also made a wonderful contribution"

Nothing new but I thought any news about this project is good

[Darling Pretty]

So Bruce wasn't at BG but participated.
Maybe overdubbed his vocals

[cannibals]

And he says ongoing so the project is still in the works??

[Dutchessy]

So there will be a song with MK, Sting and Bruce? Wow.. That is news right?

Not really, that was in an interview from more or less a year ago or maybe less, maybe more, where Sal Fender revealed all that.

I'd say that Springsteen just sent his contribution as an overdub.

[Dutchessy]

I didnt realised they were all on the same track. MK and Bruce sounds cool to me.

My theory is that the TCT mystery track may be Money for Nothing.

From the information we have so far-

track is written by MK (from Sam fender interview),
recorded in MK's studio and produced by GF,
very important guitarists are featured - MFN is one of the most famous guitar riffs ever
the involvement of Sting (from Sam Fender interview) who is not a famous guitarist but did sing backing vocals on MFN and so may be recreating these

On a related note, I went to the recent TCT Roger Daltrey show at the Albert Hall as I am a Who fan but was also secretly hoping that the advertised "special guests" may include MK or something related to the mystery project, as Guy did not rule this out on his forum when he was asked (his response was "Still to be decided") but I think part of the reason this did not happen was that there were too many support acts (4) and so RD did not start his set until 10.15 and had to hurry through it to not break the 11pm curfew (the only "special guest" was Kelly Jones who was already there as part of one of the support acts).

Great theory. Welcome to AMIT, by the way. I can hardly imagine MK writing a brand-new song for a charity project, so it might as well be Money For Nothing.

It would make a lot of sense since it's one of, if not the most famous of Mark's songs, and it will definitely generate a lot of views for this charity.

Agree on the theory. The project starts to look like other "ongoing" (read: you will never see it) projects, but I guess we will see it some time this year.

Talking about "very important guitarists" is not the same as "very important guitar riffs"

Very important guitarist are David Gilmour arn't it ?

Add MFN has nothing related to Buddy Holly.

So I bet it won't be MFN but something else.

[2manyguitars]

Its s good theory with a couple of problems.

1. Money for nothing to promote TCT? What message are you trying to promote with that!

2. There are still plenty of thin skinned individuals who are offended by one word sung in character in that song. I doubt TCT would go near it for that reason.

Perhaps its another famous MK tune?

We shall hopefully find out soon enough.....

[Robson]

I think the album will be similar to albums like:
Not Fade Away - Remembering Buddy Holly from 1996.
