Soo, There I was walking down the main street in Upton Upon Severn (Blues Festival 2019) and I heard this amazing guitar player, just his guitar , practise amp, and some other electronic stuff on a little trolley thingummy. I stood and listened for probably an hour/ 2 pints, sent the wife I didnt want to miss anything hahaha. Anyway found out he was playing a gig at the campsite stage that night which is where I was staying. Well what can I say, for me its not what he plays, its how he plays it, seems like he can play anything, but for me his blues numbers were simply outstanding. He deserves a slot on one of the main stages hopefully next year.
Oh oui !!!!👏👏👏c’est un super musicien,je partage totalement votre ressenti 🤗à écouter sans cesse ❤️bonjour de France 🇫🇷
Yes he is very talented and hard to walk past. Many players can play the blues but emulating Hank is something else. Many try, many fail, including myself. 🎸
Я бы тоже заторчал часа на пару часов..
Он очень крут !
@@hurst1452 So Taylor Swift has s nice personality, a pretty voice, good bum and face and has 1.5 billion and this man who is an effing GENIUS plays on the roadside. Okay. Fair enough. But don't tell me
1. Most people understand what Art is or even want it
2. People get what they deserve in life.
Have you ever heard anything like this ? This man plays on the streets. He should play on the biggest stages. It’s beyond words.
Exactly right my friend he is a amazing talent
Absolutely Fantastic,I too am a guitarist from Hamilton NZ. playing since I was 13, But some of your renditions bought tears to my eyes, Sincerely, many thanks and kind regards Don
Listening to this while recovering from anhedonia (the inability to feel joy) it's a truly malicious malady. I feel your playing touch my soul and is inspiring me to.pick up my guitar and play my heart. Thank you Mark for sharing your gift with all of us.
Play this that way in Northumberland Street Newcastle upon Tyne and you'll be a millionaire. Amazing thank you .
Heavenly playing ! What an interpreter!I've never heard anyone beat Mark Knopfler at his own work. Mark Allen just did that. And Knopfler is a genius so what does that make Mr Allen?
I love how you put that. He really is on that level.
Thank you Mark from New Zealand. You just get every little morsel of beauty out of that guitar to bring alive this fantastic cover. Gave me goose bumps.
This man doesn't just play the music, he lives and feels it. Bravo sir.
Such an emotional tune....and played with so much emotion ....Mark Knopfler would be proud...
This has got me through some dark days this Christmas, I mailed Mark to thank him..Absolutley stunning version.
Look at that fretboard. A story in itself reflects a life's journey.
Indeed, indeed.
I might be a sentimental bastard, but this makes me cry. No matter how hard life can be, beauty's never too far away!
How right you are, nothing wrong with being sentimental.
Some play the notes others play the music, this is beautiful. Wow what a great cover.
For me his rock numbers where he makes that guitar sing and cry...theres nobody I have heard who can interpret like that. His mind is not actually in spacetime like the rest of us : he's got a line into quantum transcendence. I'm not messing ; I'm serious.
I'd just like to say a BIG Thank You to All those who have made such lovely comments about my playing.
Also to Artfrob for doing such a brilliant job on this and other videos now on RUclips.
I am touched and humbled.
Thank You So Much. Mark Allen
Thanks Mark. It's been a privilege to have filmed you over the past 2 years...
I have mailed you Mark, see my comment further up and thank you, you have helped more than you’ll ever know.
Vous meritez emplement ces compliments Mark.
Sir Mark, you are a legend. You take a good thing and make it better. Beyond words... Thank you for bringing some joy to this world
Man do you actually know how good you are,I cant get enough,I need to buy a cd from you please message me
Ive seen Mark busking many times around welsh tows < an amazing guitarist
I get lost in your passion.. your playing, the look on your face. You Mark are what music is meant to be about.. thankyou.. if Id come across you playing in the street I know I would have been stopped in my tracks, feet stuck to the spot, mouth open, belly reverberating with firey passion as you plucked the strings. I don't know how anyone could just walk on by. You are so gifted and real and I wish for you nothing but wonderful blessings, your music has quite clearly blessed so many of us. Much love, Carly from Australia down Under..
I couldn't have said it better. There's no way I could walk past this guy, you just couldn't it's talent like that makes life worth living. Thanks Mark.
Cheers mate. i cried
Made me cry, absolutely beautiful
On behalf of the MK team we send you our greetings and wishes! We are moved by the love you put to each note! regards!
Great cover from a very talented man. 🎵🎵🎵
This man plays from the soul - exemplifies "music is the sound of our feelings" - thank you Mark Allen
Id gladly pay to sit and listen to this guy all day...Brilliant.
Absolutely bloody brilliant! It moved this old guy to tears!
Look at the wear on the fretboard it tells a story, It looks like art to me!? Wonderful playing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very good!
Here from Portugal a big hug for Mark Allen, I never get tired of listening to your guitar on youtube.
You're fantastic!
Guitarist that is not behind of any famous guitarist.
Thank you.
Everytime I hear this, it touch my heart deeply
Fabulous job sir!!!! Your voicing are amazing. Your use of double stops is terrific!
This guy is a master of the guitar
Could listen to him all evening.
If I had heard Mark playing this, I wouldn't have continued walking past, that's for sure. Awesome job Mark.
Wow, that guitar has so much of Marks blood and sweat it's like a part of his body...another organ. Another heart.
Inspirational, moving, I can’t say enough about how good this is. Thanks
Wow! The level of musical talent that comes (and has come) from that small corner of the world is simply insane! Some of the greatest bands of all time. Musicians like Elton John. I discovered Chris Buck a few months ago. Now Mark Allen. It just doesn't get any better. Cheers from the United States.
I watched Mark play that piece a couple of times live in Carmarthen, all I can do is stop and listen to your beautiful playing. Simply wonderful.
Today is the first time I heard you play, Mark. But I'll come back a million times. Sooo beautiful! This is HEART playing.
Beautiful!! Just beautiful! Moving ..... Best Interpretation of one of MK's best songs!
Aw this guy is a true musician Awsome interpretation of Knopflers classic the feeling he put into it brought tears to my eyes
hy mark please keep on playing ,you have so much talent don,t stop ,its makes me happy to hear your music greetings from Holland (Rotterdam)
That’s right, Mark you have such talent, don’t stop even in this difficult time!
Observing the people randomly happening to be there around the great Mark Allen, I perceive their indifference to any form of beauty. It is not a matter of being a music expert, it is not a matter of being an artist: it is just a matter of being sensitive to beauty. And most inhabitants of this planet aren't. Simple as that. Most people passing by do not even bend their heads for a millisecond, in the attempt to realize where that sound is coming from.
Exactly, you said what I was thinking. At least there are those out there like you and me who do know and appreciate such things.
You're so right: "smelling the flower of music is what it's all about.". Maybe, tasting this wonderful music is a gift of the gods to us. We're the privileged ones to hear and taste the beauty of this. It's something in our brain that makes it so. And remember, even Mozart met with a lot of resistance. If people don't have the taste of music, they don't have it! Don't blame them - pity them! And say 'thanks' for Mark.
If I'd been there I'd have sat all day mesmerized by the brilliance of this truly amazing man.To think you could listen to this stunning playing for free.He should be playing huge venues.The feel he has is wonderful
@@alvisespano this is what I observe, too.but didn't want to say it as I've been accused before of being 'arrogant'. Thank you for saying it and I agree.
Played from the heart and soul, a beautiful melody by a man who knows how to play.
That was really beautiful and artistic playing, from the heart. More please!!
Beautifully played with so much depth and emotions...💖💖💖
I just love this tune Mark you play it so well have listened to it every day this week thanks Mark from Tony in New Zealand
I think you should be playing in Cardiff Arms Stadium brother. Far- North New Zealand
I still love this song, when you are playing this Mark.
What a beautiful piece of music played with such skill and love of the music and instrument , if only I could play the guitar like this , it would be great, well done Mark for this and many mother renditions of songs played by you
Mark Allen is an artist...simply put.
Thanks for this...straight to my soul..RESPECT
This is such a lovely tune and to hear someone play it this good brings an emotional tear to my eye. I'm still a beginner, but when I practice, this is the song I always start with and finish with. well done Mark.
Your only a beginner and you can play this??? that`s pretty amazing!
Bravo! He played it with his own style. And it was amazing!
There is magic in those fingers...

I've got goosebumps on top of goosebumps. Just wow Mark, truly breathtaking.
Hi Peter have you heard Mark playing Wild Horses by the stones honestly I was astonished and astounded, listen to it if you have the time,take care !
I think if mark knopfler was walking by at that precise moment he would of been so proud of the way you was playing he’s beautiful song. Well done mate
You got it Mark.....maybe not the money but you got the fame...because you're good and you earned it all.
Beautiful vibrato and absolutely in the pocket phrasing and feel. You’ve got it all, Mark!!
This has been since 1983 when the movie "Local Hero" was made that I purchased the movie soundtrack with Mark Knopfler..I have the album & still listen to this day. Mark, I feel honored to have found your amazing, wonderful, so heartfelt work on u-tube! You are beyond amazing..your music touched me so I cried. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Much Love, Suzanne (Idaho) USA
Mark that is brilliant!
Great, Great job. Isn't it amazing my friend that no matter how age sets in you will NEVER put it down. It literally becomes a part of you. It is a gift from God.
Great video 👏🏼👍🏽
No explanation... the music played by this gentleman and the video of the Great Bob Fordham's Artfrob leave us in the stars literally.
THANKS.
Well played, you did this piece great justice. Thankyou.
I’ve watched Mark play in Swansea many times and he always impresses me with his playing. Unfortunately it looks like the city centre is going to be quiet for a while.
This is the epitomy of a perfect cover! Respecting the spirit of the original song and bringing a personal touch and soul to it. Loved it!
hy mark when i am on the internet and i filling down than i listen to your music thats make me verry happy don,t stop playing you have a gift
it gives me so much pleasure to watch you play that guitar with amazing feeling, well done and thank you, lets have more
What a masterpiece. Thanks so much for sharing this breathtaking performance man! Mark's feeling for the music is outstanding. Worldclass. Greetz, Jimmy
This is one of the most soothing tone for me .. and you have made it more beautiful.. and I will listen to this one again and again...
This should be a crowd stopper and sound fabulous to anyone walking past, but if you have seen the movie, you wouldn't even think about walking past him... magical, you are a magician with a guitar.
Sounds like he's forgotten more guitar chops than some folks will ever learn. He's got this rare ability to take you with him when he reaches out to those far away emotional musical journeys. Well done.
Playing with heart and soul, sounds so fine.
Fantastic Mark 👏👏👏👏👍🇬🇧
he plays with his heart and it shows no1 god bless you sir for so much joy
Beautifully done sir. Thank you, be well.
Absolute class.
