Win Mark’s Guitar
November 27, 2020
Mark has donated one of his iconic red Fender Stratocaster guitars to a fundraising draw in aid of Stagehand UK’s Covid-19 Crew Relief Fund, supporting stage and production crew through the current crisis. The guitar was played on all of the US dates of Mark’s 2019 ‘Down The Road Wherever’ Tour and at the Verona concert of the European leg.
Mark says:
‘I used this Stratocaster on the song ‘On Every Street’ towards the end of a set. I’d play it through the song then Richard Bennett would join in on his Strat and we’d double the playout figure to strengthen it when the band kicked in with the soprano sax blowing over the top. Live music needs an army of dedicated people who make it happen everywhere, from pubs and clubs to arenas. They need a helping hand now. Please support Stagehand’
Tickets are £5 per entry and can be purchased between Friday 27th November and Friday 18th December worldwide. The winner will be announced on Tuesday 23 December.
COMMENTLocal Hero Gin
March 26, 2019
Mark has teamed up with Portobello Road Gin to create his own special blend of gin:
Mark says “2019 is an exciting year with the launch of the Local Hero musical, a global tour and of course the launch of my new limited edition gin in collaboration with Portobello Road Gin.”
Each of the limited edition, artisan bottles made will be distilled on Portobello Road in their 400L copper alembic still King Henry, then bottled and labelled by hand. The bottle’s decorative label design was led by Mark and is inspired by his passion for guitars. On the inside label of each bottle, there is an image of Mark’s famous 1937 14-fret National Style “O” Resonator. There is also a nod to the days when Mark would sport a headband for his live performances, so each bottle comes with its own miniature version in red.
