What is the history of Mark Allen. He is amazing.
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.
He's happy. that's what counts nowadays.
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
@@finisterrae577 unbelievable talent. His music reaches right into your soul. That's genius. All the kids today are shredding. Mr Allen shows how a guitar makes art, not noise.
Totally amazing feeling and talent. Many thanks for sharing your passion Mark!❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Look at that fretboard. A story in itself reflects a life's journey.
Indeed, indeed.
I blubber like an old woman but I can’t stop playing this. It’s a beautiful song anyway but this is special. Absolutely stunning.
I am a 91 year old coffin dodger, why didnt I find this chap much earlier now that Im trying to play a guitar John
This has got me through some dark days this Christmas, I mailed Mark to thank him..Absolutley stunning version.
Just thinking the same.
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.
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.
It's 3.08 am and this Got me in tears it's the most emotional version I have heared played with heart. God Bless you Mark
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 UA-cam.
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
Best version ever. Mark knopfler should be very proud of this man. I hope he knows him one day.
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
Some play the notes others play the music, this is beautiful. Wow what a great cover.
Such an emotional tune....and played with so much emotion ....Mark Knopfler would be proud...
HANK MARVIN PULLS IN THOUSANDS TO WATCH HIM AND THIS GUY SITS ON THE STREET AND PEOPLE JUST WALK BY,,, IV E PLAYED GUITAR FOR SOME YEARS NOW AND THIS MAN IS AS GOOD AS ANY OF THE TOP PLAYERS,,
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.
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.
This man plays from the soul - exemplifies "music is the sound of our feelings" - thank you Mark Allen
Absolutely bloody brilliant! It moved this old guy to tears!
I've watched a bunch of your videos buddy and you do every artists you cover a lot of justice. You are truly a musician my brother.
Fabulous job sir!!!! Your voicing are amazing. Your use of double stops is terrific!
Made me cry, absolutely beautiful
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
Today is the first time I heard you play, Mark. But I'll come back a million times. Sooo beautiful! This is HEART playing.
Great cover from a very talented man. 🎵🎵🎵
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!
the angels come from heaven to hear him❤ it is so beautiful🧚♂️✨️
Id gladly pay to sit and listen to this guy all day...Brilliant.
Superb...what a treat on a Monday morning!
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.
This guy is a master of the guitar
Could listen to him all evening.
Look at the wear on the fretboard it tells a story, It looks like art to me!? Wonderful playing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Inspirational, moving, I can’t say enough about how good this is. Thanks
If I had heard Mark playing this, I wouldn't have continued walking past, that's for sure. Awesome job Mark.
Played from the heart and soul, a beautiful melody by a man who knows how to play.
Somebody please help me. I’m just obsessed with Mark.❤
Me too.❤. sorry
Beautiful!! Just beautiful! Moving ..... Best Interpretation of one of MK's best songs!
Jings, you can see he puts his heart and soul into this wonderful piece, you are a local hero.Thank you and God bless you.
Ive seen Mark busking many times around welsh tows < an amazing guitarist
Everytime I hear this, it touch my heart deeply
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.
Mark, your sensibility playing this song shows absolutelly really what your soul and your spirit means: the real sence of music. Thanks for playing this incredible Knopfler composition. from the South of the planet, from uruguay,Rudy!
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.
I'm lucky enough to have this legend play across the street from where I work on a regular basis. Always a pleasure to hear his talent echo through the streets.
Aw this guy is a true musician Awsome interpretation of Knopflers classic the feeling he put into it brought tears to my eyes
Wow, that guitar has so much of Marks blood and sweat it's like a part of his body...another organ. Another heart.
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.
That was really beautiful and artistic playing, from the heart. More please!!
Thank you Mark, Words are at a complete loss and totally fail me to decribe the o/so beautiful rendition,KPP nz
Bravo! He played it with his own style. And it was amazing!
This is simply beautiful ❤️
May god bless this man 🙏
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
