New for 2024

I couldn't help posting a stupid little thing on Guy's forum, lol

I think that the TCT project is done, the new album done and that with no more touring I think MK just got all the band together to say thank you to them all for all their efforts, energy and creative input over the hours, days, weeks and years and he has announced that life moves on, his legacy is what it is, he is to retire fully and finally and that he is selling British Grove!

Then again, who knows?

[Rolleyway Man]

Another theory…it is possible that they were recording some live performances of various songs at British Grove, perhaps for the benefit of the Henrik Hansen film. Or maybe even some incidental music for said film. Whatever it is, this is most curious!

Time will tell…

Actually that makes sense as apparently Hansen was in one of the pictures...

I was writing the same thing, it will be to complete the documentary coming out (maybe?) together with the new album. What I don't understand is all this mystery this time

"What I don't understand is all this mystery this time"

Exactly!

I think one of Mark's biggest mistakes was to never release a proper "Live From British Grove" album in any shape or form in all these decades he owned the studio.

He has the studio, he's got the musicians, the songs. Even John Illsley recorded videos in Mark's studio, but not Mark. And even Mark shot some playback videos in Shangri-La Studios, but why not British Grove? So my dream would be to hear (and see) a live from British Grove, but unfortunately, I don't think it's possible.

"Cleaning My Gun" would be one example of a MK music video shot at BG.

But it's still playback. Live in the studio is more something like this:

Or this:



Seriously, one of the best live-in-studio performances ever. The original live iTunes broadcast is beyond great, they actually made it worse later on for the Blu-Ray release, fixed some mistakes and added crazy fast editing for some reason (like in this video). If you can find the original broadcast, I would recommend this.

Actually Mike with a flute in one of the control rooms or the booths doesn't look like recording a live performance...

Coule be live promo stuff for new album.

Yeah, this is why I said it's likely not what's happening. With that said, however, it could be a good "substitute" for live shows. But it doesn't need to be a substitute, he could do it any time really. He probably still hates video format and tries to record as few videos as possible. Which is not great for legacy indeed.

[Robson]

If a film like the one for the Tracker album was made, it would be fantastic.

[KnopfleRick]

Oh yes, this would be absolutly fantastic.
