   Now THAT’S what I call a Christmas song!!! You’re right – MUCH better than warbly Mariah Carey. How about releasing this as a download Mark?!! The gorgeous bass line and your singing makes it sooooo much better than all the rest. Well done Heather and nice one Mark!!

   Now that is the BEST thing I have ever seen Mark do for someone – Kudos Mark – you are a bloody legend for doing that!

   PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make that available as a download – what about getting people to donate to the charity of your choice for it???

   Made my day (and no doubt Heathers too!)

   BRILLIANT!

   I think this just about made every fan’s day. It did mine too. I grinned like a mad thing while watching that.
   Bless you Mark for taking the time to do that. Who needs Santa Claus when we have you? Hehehe…

   Best to you and the guys xx ;)

   Utterly priceless. It says a lot about a celebrity when they can interact with fans like that. Mark, your a star! Heather and the gang, you are stars too. If I had the money I would fly you over here for the Indig02 gig, next October!
   Merry Xmas to all!

    Wonderful. Groovy track eh?

    Yes, best Christmas rendition in years. So, a note to management – get this out. NOW! Next years Christmas number one? No harm in trying. Maybe even get to hear it on the 2010 tour? Haha.

    Was it just Mark on the track? Lots of cool chords and harmony in there, Lindup maybe?

    Thank you so much for sharing this. Absolutely amazing! I didn’t expect that at all! It completely made my whole week. It just goes to show what a really cool person Mark is. I can’t think of many people who would do what he did. I can’t wait to see him and the rest of the L42 gang at O2 next year. Put the song up on iTUNES please!!

    If every Level 42 supporter in the USA was as diligent as Heather we would have ourselves a tour. It is also clearly apparent that Mark wants to share the gift of music- his inspiration is still strong, and his enthusiasm for music seems to increase each year. Mark should release this Christmas song he has improvised but i think it is intended as a gift to the fans. I certainly has enhanced the season for all the fans already!

    Holy Smokes.

    How cool is that. When was the last time any of us saw such personal interaction from one of our hero’s and a celebrity..whatever that means these days..

    More than anything – it just goes to show how in touch Professori King truly is.

    The more I think about it – the cooler it gets. He really put some thought into it and put himself out.

    So he does put his pants on – one leg at a time. Just like the rest of us. Heather has to be errr, touched. Now now Vicar!

    Peace, Mark, to you and the family. Top Dolar !
