FOB Brian Martin Wilson Belfast, Northern Ireland 16th May 2012 |
Quite agree about 'Flame of Blue' - chills me out on every listen or capo 4th fret to play along. Beautiful lyrics too - "singing songs until we're mellow, out fathers sang before we were born". Love the fade out too - over 3 chords, then just 2 chords. Ok Guy, I think we're all just about ready now for the new MK album - any chance you'd put it up on bandcamp or something as a download today? lol = Lots of Laughter. lol. hahaha. hehehe. Can't wait! Brian. | haha |

Mark let something hear about new album.. waiting sucks verse aarstel amsterdam 16th May 2012 |
I read on Mark's site before dylan tour that the new album would be out in first quarter of 2012. That message is gone now for month's.. And nothing new has come up. Why? If decided in first quarter of 2012 that it's going to be a double cd it makes sence to me. I think when the recording is nearing the end, the fans should given some info, not wait so long. It's music not a strategy for war or so.. Sorry for complaining but don't blame me it's just a fan thing. Stay well everyone | Well it's not coming out the first quarter is it. The album is done, the artwork is still being compiled/assembled/edited. I can't say exactly when it's coming out as there IS no OFFICIAL release date yet but it will be this year. |

Guitarists and Shoes Roland Dent Snr Tow Law Durham 16th May 2012 |
Guy I fancy some Red Wing Boots from the States. Have you any experience with them please? If not can you recommend a brand? I know you lived in the USA. While we wait for news of the upcoming MK tour(s) and as recent comments have been about fave guitarists I will take this opportunity to offer an Ed Van Halen track...this is total entertainment and the music just rolls out as easily as honey off a hot spoon. Ed is a total "Mensch" as all of them are..enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v[...] | Never mind the boots, check this extraordinary version of Jump. Never did get to the bottom of it. JUMP out of tune |
 Enya James Questari Southampton,England 16th May 2012 |
Hi Guy, Have either you or Mark met Enya? I've always thought she and Mark could work together, both having a strong Celtic connection, and having played with a number of the same musicians. http://z7.invisionfree.com/Sil[...] | no, never have |

Dogs or cats Marty McAuliffe Syracuse, New York, USA 16th May 2012 |
First off Guy..here's hoping all goes well for you and your project in Cordoba. And now the question...are you a dog person..a cat person...or a 'no pets' person? And what about Mark..dogs or cats? Thanks Marty | dogs all round |

Flame of Blue Nat Sweden 14th May 2012 |
I see I am not the only one who finds that "Flame of Blue" has this incredible calming effect. I always play it if I am feeling stressed. I also found that if it plays in my head while I am playing golf, the putting becomes much more accurate (or at least, less bad). Great that Colin's mum is OK. So, what's the subliminal message hidden in that song? | Thanks. Subliminal message is don't drink TOO much |
 You are really a life saving Dr. colin bryce Dallas Texas 14th May 2012 |
Dear Doc. Recently I was called away from work as my mom had been taken to the emergency room with very serious symptoms. She is in her early eighties. She had uncontrolable tremmors, was freezing cold(in TX its 85F), and her heart was racing. My father and I were extremely concerned that this was gonna be IT and were preparing for the worse. As we waited in the E-room Kitty(mom)said if she could only hear the first song on that CD I gave her a while back it would calm her. The CD was GF-NS. signed by the Doc himself. I luckily yanked out my Iphone and scrolled to Flame of Blue and put it in her lap. The result was amazing. As it played she calmed down, her tremmors and heart began to slow. She credits the caming effect to Fletch singing and playing...She spent a week in the hospital with viral pneumonia, recovered fully and came home where she still works a full-time job. She wanted, and I want to thank you for what is prob the 1st life DR. Fletch MD has really saved. So thank you from the bottom of my heart. I know this sounds made up but is 100% true--just check my Facebook. Keep it up when things get hard and hectic. YOUR music can really change lives. | Thanks Colin, I'm touched....and very glad your mom is ok. |

Doc, Any chance you will be in the house band again for this year’s Prince’s Trust Rock Gala? | Judging by various schedules, it looks unlikely..unfortunately |

David Byrne Mark Radai Hungary 14th May 2012 |
Hi Doc! Monday is the 60th birthday of David Byrne. Do you like his music? I read somewhere that the DS was a support band for The Talking Heads for some gigs back in'79. OK, you joined DS in the mid. eighties, but do you have any information about it? Might that be true? Thank you. | Yes, Talking Heads were a big part of my musical evolvement and yes, DS did support TH. Mark occasionally talks about them. |

Auto-Tune Greg Rodriguez Georgia 12th May 2012 |
Assuming that like most professionals, MK uses Auto-Tune, do you know which album he first employed it?.....Also which version of ProTools do you recommend for the novice? | On the contrary, we do NOT use Auto-Tune. It's a very handy tool if you find yourself in a desperate pitching situation. Many Pop and Country producers use it as a matter of course on all their vocals which would be why their records lack any character. As far as ProTools versions, I'm on 9 but 10 is out. If you buy a 2nd hand system, then use the latest compatible version depending on your hardware. |

Hobart Stu Brinsemad Australia 11th May 2012 |
Hi Guy I saw DS play in 1986 in Hobart, Tasmania, awesome show! There was a rumour at the time though.. that you guys were late coming on because one of the band members got into difficulty on the Derwent river whilst wind surfing... was that you? I love your site btw, its a rare privilage to be able to see inside British Grove, the tours, and the wonderful music Mark and yourself create. Also, come back and play in Hobart!!!! | No. Alan used to live near the Derwent reservoir in Northumberland but I don't think it was anything to do with that. We did get into a bit of trouble in Hamilton Island when we decided to circumnavigate the island on windsurfers on a show day! We were late for the plane and I dislocated my right forefinger. Still did the show in Cairns that evening though. |

About our questions Wolfgang Northern Germany 11th May 2012 |
Hi, lots of people seem to await eagerly the new MK album which is no surprise obviously. As you open yourself to the fans with this forum, it is clear you get lots of queries about that. Hope it doesn't bother you too much. I think it is hard to understand for some people (fans) that you are not that much into the album/recording/release stuff anymore once the thing is ready and done. Maybe it's more like a bricklayer who gives his best when working on the building but who might not be interested about who will move into that new house or whatever will happen to it afterwards?? Hope you get the picture, of course you are more of an artist than a craftsman. Some posts imply the writer thinks that you live INSIDE of British Grove and know all about every little thing that ever happens there... So is there a certain artistic distance (necessary) once the studio work is done? | I'd say yes. |
|
In reply Vince Roland Dent Snr Tow Law Durham UK 11th May 2012 |
Yes I agree with you, it is a shame that the USA continues to expect the whole world to be as gullible as its own citizens. Then again most of the talent in the USA is imported, there are several examples but Shannon Tweed is foremost in my mind. She of course is Canadian, and easily fulfills the 30 second "WOW" test. | |

Max Elliott Hodges Chessington UK 10th May 2012 |
Hello Guy, Max mentioned a while ago that he was starting a new band-"Dara" I think they were called? have they started gigging yet? When I last saw you guys I gave Max a CD to listen to by a friend of mine. I dunno if he's listened to it yet or not but grab it off him at some point and have a listen-I think her songs are fantastic. Here's a link to her website. http://www.sarahdoe.co.uk/ | Max's band aren't gigging just yet but I did record 3 pretty great tracks lately for them. I'm not sure they've finalized the name yet. |

You say Tomato colin miller Edinburgh 10th May 2012 |
It would be interesting to see if Roland Dent could list at least 50 guitarists better than Sonny Landreth (with the possible exception of Ry Cooder and Derek Trucks, could he list anyone better on slide?). I dont see it happening but it would make interesting reading. Opinions are just that....now, i wonder when we'll get any news on the album. Its doing my head in and Im sure we must be doing Guy's head in. Ill go for a September release and a spring 2013 tour. There. Thatll be on twitter in no time (i dont do twitter) and be fact before you know it! | |

What A Wonderful Modulation Pavel Fomenkov Saint Petersburg 9th May 2012 |
Hi Doc! Not a question, just wanted to express infinite gratitude to Jim Cox for the divine modulation to Armstrong's original key for solos in What A Wonderful World arrangement. Very smart, impressive and eargasmic stuff. | |

Sonny Landreth Peter Montreal 9th May 2012 |
Roland,either you can't recognize talent when you hear it or you're unable to truly appreciate slide guitar wizardry and Sonny's unique style. I hope it's the latter. The ability to incorporate blues, zydeco and cajun music into a unique sound and Sonny's ability and technical innovations have been recognized by MK, EC and many other highly regarded guitarists. I was fortunate to spend some time in Louisiana shortly after discovering Sonny through MK, and Sonny's music became my soundtrack to that trip. Images and events bounce back to me every time I put Sonny's music on. Isn't that one of the many amazing benefits that music and great musicianship is able to provide for us? MK's collaborations have led me to many talented musicians and I am most thankful I got to discover Sonny. I look forward to the latest contribution by MK et al, hopefully in 2012. |
