From MKNews: UK residents aged 18 years or older can enter a special Amazon competition to win a pair of tickets to an exclusive pre-tour show to be held on the 12th of May at Elstree Studios, London. Entrants are required to have an Amazon.co.uk and a Facebook account. Closing date for entry is Monday, 16th of March. (26/02/15) Further details below: Exclusive Gig It is annoying that you need Facebook to enter this competition, I don't have Facebook, and have no intention of getting it, so I can't enter but I hope someone on this forum does enter and win tickets. |

Agreed, QJF. It's patently unfair to require people to sign up on a generic social media site in order to simply enter a draw. :toad: |

Maybe it's me getting older, lol, I did try with Facebook a few years ago but I just didn't see the point, and didn't find the time to use it, so I'm not going to rejoin just to enter a competition I may not win anyway! |

Talking about the actual gig. As it is taking place at Elstree Studios, which is where they film TV shows, I wonder if we are going to get something like A Night In London again? Maybe it will be filmed for a release? I think last time Mark did one of these type of gigs, wasn't it in a warehouse? This seems a bit more professional. |

I, too, find it unfair to have to have a Facebook account as well as Amazon. I joined Facebook a few years ago, but found it incredibly boring - people talking about what they had to eat for breakfast or their child's cough, etc ! I managed to stay a member for about a year - that was enough for me! It would be nice if there was a similar draw for MK fans only, because the Amazon/Facebook draw is for everyone, regardless of whether they even know anything about MK at all and no purchase is necessary either, so the world and his wife can enter! @ QJF - This question appeared on Guy's forum recently: Question: I always like to watch the program of Jools Holland. Any chance of seeing MK there soon to promote his new album? Guy: I sure hope so. So there's always hope! :) |

Thanks Val, I think Mark's solo songs have not had enough exposure on official DVD releases apart from the DVD with Emmylou Harris :shock: And we still don't know why the BBC didn't broadcast the show they did for them on the last tour!! |

I got the email today but as I'm not on facebook either, I can't enter. :( |

Nope. Nobody has entered. We're either not on FaceBook or we're in the wrong country, ....or both. No worries, though. I'll just wait for the DVD..... :unsure: |
