Mark is going to be playing live October between 28th and 30th at London's O2 Arena, it is BluesFest, and Mark is playing as part of Bill Wyman's 80th birthday celebration. I wonder if that means Guy Fletcher will play too, as he was on Bill latest album. More information can be read by following the link below: BluesFest |

Hi, all. Several someones over on the AMIT forum posted some links to last night's performance. I have included one here as it is apparently a NEW SONG! It is called Playtime Deluxe - a bit different style, but definitely Mark. Playtime Deluxe Enjoy! :rockon: |

Wow, thanks Linda, that was a great song, some brilliant blues guitar from Mark, so much for those people who were saying Mark can't play the way he used to :shock: It is a different style, but that is not unusual for Mark, he has played in many styles, this is yet another one, I can hear an Elvis type voice singing this :) I wonder if it was a contender for either the Get Lucky album or Privateering? Mark is really letting loose with this track :rockon: Do you know what else he played? |

Brilliant audio on that link Linda, thanks. I love the tone of Mark's Les Paul, very dirty and earthy :rockon: |

Here are a couple more videos of that night that surfaced today. The first is Playtime Deluxe and the second is Van Morrison and Mark. (Mark seemed to be hosting, also.) I think the song is Muleskinner Blues. Mark plays and sings on it, too. Playtime Deluxe Van Morrison & Mark :rockon: |
