30.07.2010    URGENT : 1 ticket for Gredos to sell 

Paqui, a spanish fan, has got a spare ticket for the ultimate 2010 show in Gredos. Here is his message :

Fan ticket, so you can enter the first one to the gig, it is not seat, it's in the area,
because in the Avile there are not chairs.
Cost: 52 ¤

You can contact him here.

  09.06.2010    local-hero.org : v3 launched 

As Mark will be tonight in Paris Bercy I officially launch the version 3 of this website, even if the new features have appeared week after week since the beginning of the tour :

• - new design
• - a gallery widget on each concert page (which dynamically retrieve the pics from the flickr and picasa links)
• - a calendar to simplify the navigation through the tour dates
• - creation of a Twitter account so that you can easily follow the updates
• - buttons added to the social networks to share the links with your friends
• - a widget dedicated to the official recordings (simfylive)
• - a chat to discuss live

I hope you will like the 2010 version of the website, I have worked on it for hours :-) Enjoy the gigs and don't forget to leave your reviews !

  28.04.2010    Alchemy released in DVD & Blu-Ray on 10th of May

More than 25 years after this mythical gig, the official DVD & Blu-Ray release will be out the 10th May 2010. For this release the sound has been remixed in 5.1 surround by Chuck Ainlay and the image has been restored.

Hmmm, this trailer brings good memories back. Impressive picture ! You can notice that Mark's voice is different that what we used to hear.

After the double LP, the double K7, the double CD, the VHS, the Laserdic and the bootleg DVD it's decided : I'm going to buy a Blu-Ray player !

Hmmmmmmm great news ! You can preorder it on amazon.

  12.04.2010    local-hero.org : the v3 is coming...

You may have seen some changes in the look of the website. I am working on a version 3 of this website and it's going well :-)

Please give me your opinion (by email ou by using the chat just at the right).

  11.09.2009    Archives : "Running on down this road" live @ Snape, 25/04/1990

In 1990 the Notting Hillbillies made a UK tour following the release of their album "Missing... presumed having a good time".

In the setlist was this track from the Brendan Croker's solo album "The Great Indoors".

Listen to this stunning version of "Running on down this road" : so nice !

  02.09.2009    Archives : "Baloney Again" live @ Nulle Part Ailleurs, 11/10/2000

During his "Sailing to Philadelphia" promo tour MK has come to the "Nulle Part Ailleurs" TV show on Canal+ to play "Baloney Again".
This is for me the best live version, so emotional, so... perfect, played onyly with Guy Fletcher on keyboards.
Enjoy !

  15.06.2008    Tour : HD videos from Guy

As I have deleted the YouTube links I invite you to see the "Behind the scenes" videos made by Guy during the 2008 tour.
You just have to go to Guy's website.

  14.06.2008    Website : YouTube links deleted

As a perfectionist I have been very sensible to what Mark has said :
"What Mark doesn't like is the YouTube concept. Quality is compromised and I agree. When your whole career is based on attention to detail it's a bit of a kick in the teeth to see your carefully engineered recordings/performances in such a way."
In order to respect Mark's work, the request made by Mark and the band done each night that filming is not allowed and so not to incite people to film, I have decided to withdraw the YouTube links posted here.
I mention that I have not been asked to do that, it's a personal decision.
Go to the gigs and enjoy ! :-)
