I know Mike gave many interviews last year to promote The Ultimate Edition. I hope, as most of you do that Mike will maybe do a small performance on acoustic to promote HR. I would love to hear and see him playing On Horseback. It would be nice for us to see Mike play a little, its been a while. What do other Tubes think and what would you like Mike to play if he does so?

Let Mike has his well-deserved break!

I'd love to see this happen but i doubt it will.As Tati says he's taking a break.Seems to be a permanent thing but he has been a pro musician for 42 years.

When you say he's taking a break - you're meaning he's residing in a sunny country. It sounds like he's working too - maybe working, resting and playing. Or give him a Mars bar.

If he's taking a break give the man a Kit-Kat or as you say if he's working,resting and playing it's a Mars bar,if he's pissed off he may well say "HORLICKS!!!".Ok Dan calm down. :laugh:

...if he's taking a holiday - don't book it Thomas Cook it, if he wants a taste of paradise - give him a Bounty, if he wants Easten Promise - Turkish Delight, to aid recovery - Lucozade, if he doesn't want to make a drama out of a crisis - Commercial Union...

enough?

No he didn´t! And he´s not taking any break right now. He´s just decided not to give a damn. And if he has decided not to produce any new material, that´s all right with me. But in order to promote the rereleases of old material, I´d like him to support as much as he can. I think that´s just fair, isn´t it Mike?

So let´s get out those fragments of the original recordings of Ommadawn and all the snippets of Ommadawn, Hergest Ridge and Incantations. We´re all desperate!

Gee sorry I brought the topic up, I retract it unreservedly. Tati you must be honorary aunt, you protection of Mike is extraordinary. I didn't realise Mike was an invalid. He had a break didn't he? Not recovering from an illness. I really don't give a toss anymore, really.
