Indeed a looong day. Finally back home now.

A long day, but utterly worth it I would say! Thanks again my friend for organising - forever indebted!
The memories of seeing 'the master' yesterday will live with me forever!

Was it given to all of you, were items you could buy or what?

I'll love to have them!

Wow what an experience this was!

As Knopflerfan says, similar feeling as matchday with concerts.
Great to be in the same room as MK after all these years.
Mark talks like a happy man.
He does drift of sometimes, which can become a little boring. But at the same time he was very funny as well.
I do feel for Mark as to the way he's walking.

First impressions aren't always completely right, but what a song All Comers is!!

Congratulations to everyone who were able to make it. Sounds like a fun event.

When you say Mark tends to ramble or drift off, how do you mean? Like he steers his answers into the usual anecdotes and stories? Or does he start talking about irrelevant stuff?

Well summed up Vesper - I like the rambling on because that is just pure MK! If he had his way we'd still be in the cinema listening to his many tales!

Maybe it's time for MK to write a book perhaps..

Yes, he steered some things into the usual anecdotes, for example playing "why bother" with the Everly's.

Looking forward to seeing the video of the event, if indeed it was filmed. Was it?

Oh, and what's this thing around Mark's wrist? A watch? I'm just wondering, because, you know, he's known to play the guitar occasionally.

[Harry]

Yes it was filmed in entirety, and some attendees were interviewed at the end for their reactions. I was advised likely to appear on Mark’s You Tube and Instagram channels.

Have to echo other comments, what a lovely event this was. Mark relaxed, happy and all in an intimate setting. I’m sure that there would be a market and demand for ‘an audience with Mark’ even if he never even touched a guitar in public again. There must be so much to tell that we’ve never heard yet.....

Many thanks to him and his management for enabling this gem of a memory 

Oh, and All Comers is an absolute cracker - uplifting or what!!

What songs did the three videos shown refer to?

[Vesper]

What songs did the three videos shown refer to?

All Comers, Ahead of the Game, Two Pairs of Hands.
But they were nicely made together with some interlude, maybe trying to make them feel like one performance.

I got this signed Lito after the event from MK management for organising this. Very nice gesture! I framed it and put it on my wall between my other albums.
