That'd be awesome Willy!
We did one before a long time ago, hope we can get it together again!
Be great to meet you finally!

"an artist called Sarah Brightman" - Is that reservation necessary for the US audience?
Congrats, Mark, that's a MAJOR tour. I bet most Europeans will know her well.

Have a good one!

I suppose I'm the exception since I grew up in the UK... but yeah, that's got to be quite the *ahem* fruitful gig.

Yeah that's quite a schedule!

What's the story? How did you get connected with this gig? Where are you based out of? I'm always curious to hear peoples "how I got the gig"...

congrats mark!

I just checked her out on youtube and yes, this is a very serious gig.. Which speaks loud and clear about who you are as a musician/drummer !! Good for you Mark!!

There she is with Andrea Bocelli..
