Why isn't Mark on every radio station around the world.The world would be a better place listening to this amazing musician.

[@user-xp3fp8kl6n]

You are right, think the same..look..getting more and more played🎉👍😻

[@user-ox7zl3bp3d]

A truly talented musician that gives us beautiful music for free , while so called musicians with half the talent are charging funny money.❤

[@ronniekok9421]

I've loved this masterpiece from Christine McVie for more than 40 years and Eva Cassidy's version only added to that love. I never would have believed a non vocal version can do this gem justice until I watched this. What a talent Mark is. Delicate, sensitive and completely true to the essence of the tune in his interpretation. He avoided showing his mastery of his instrument to simply show off but allowed his soul to deliver the notes from his guitar that capture the beauty of the melody. Simply gorgeous. He deserves a million times more views than he has garnered so far.

[@mikekim1219]

There are many great guitarists on KZbin but the way you play makes me feel warm and peaceful. Thank you.

[@alexanderewing3779]

This guy makes his guitar sing and that neck has seen some serious riffing. Magic!

[@classicalguitarjourney7880]

Beautiful masterful performance.

[@chriswatling60]

As I was saying, I had the pleasure of meeting Mark at this weekend's Upton Blues Festival. He played for 2 3/4 hours. His playing is so emotional and from the heart. What a lovely humble and superbly talented man. Thank you so much.

[@marcelaalihassan3655]

I cannot stop crying when I listen to you. You are an special soul and a wonderful musician. Regards.

[@Jembeau]

Mark, I have a special “playlist” that consists of only your songs. I’ll soon be 69 years old, but I wanna play guitar like this when I grow up. Keep these good songs and videos coming. Excellent job Mark, AND Artfrob for producing them.

[@artfrob3754]

Thank you Jembeau for your kind remarks. Mark is indeed a rare talent and it has been a pleasure to film him...long may it continue...artfrob

[@jimbattles1014]

Absolutely Beautiful. I have never seen such emotion come from a guitar, this borders Spiritual. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.

[@vb14086]

Just beautifully played, with such feel and amazing tone! ❤

[@Nono-jf9bn]

An extraordinary touch... People don't even realize what is happening here... What talent, delicate, sensitive, he captures and renders the very essence of this emblematic title of Christine Mc.Vie... The sound of the guitar is sublime... We listen to two measures and tears come to your eyes, thank you Mark for this magical moment...💕😘

[@jaybee9786]

First saw Mark Playing in Eastbourne many years ago, his superb playing brought a tear to my eye then and still does now, so pleased we bought his CD Hello, as it is still my favourite now. Such a amazing talent.

[@loz911]

I haven't heard anything better. A real musician. He feels what he's playing. Not like the kids on KZbin who play 10 million notes that mean nothing and just play for attention. Excellent..

[@jimmycupid2373]

Absolutely classic song. And played by a wonderful class guitar player..simply amazing 👏..thanks very much for sharing your wonderful videos with all of us..Jimmy cupid...

[@cathytaibbi1945]

Just beautiful, beautiful, emotionally-evocative playing.

[@7psalles]

Mark, your playing is so very touching; every single note gets light, beauty and power through your hands. This 2020 hasn’t been a happy year. Nevertheless, it was the time I got to know your way of playing songs, in Cardiff’s streets. This, for sure, is one of the city treasures. I’d like to thank you for each emotional moments your playing brought inside of me. Merry Christmas and a better New Year to you and to Artfrob, this generous man, who has connected you to the world, including me in a small city in São Paulo State, Brazil.

[@FireLightersUK]

Oh what a pain soother.Great thing about good music was when it hit you feel no pain! Great job sir! Amazing gift from God

[@hermit1249]

Never tire of listening to you, Mark... beautiful .

[@ThymeBottle]

Eva Cassidy's version was my introduction to this sweet song, played with such emotion by you. I hear much of Miss Cassidy's guitar method in this most heart-stirring rendition. My mother so loved this song; she would have loved your playing, too.

[@jansnels528]

Wonderful

[@christahundchen8095]

Mark is playing with heart and soul, thank you

[@juliejohnson8739]

[@jash7401]

I keep coming back to this and it's always so beautiful. Thanks.

[@sreekumargopakumar10]

Mark, You have no idea how many times I listened to you playing. I need to pick up my star caster ~ and do some practice

[@tonylye2202]

Lovely. Could listen to you the whole day.

[@robertennor1143]

Two of my favourite songs by anyone, are Christine McVie’s Songbird and Wild Horses by Keef and Mick (particularly the acoustic version). I’ve been hooked on covers for a while now. That led me to Mark Allen playing Wild Horses. After playing it over and over and over etc...... I subscribed and searched for others. Enter Songbird and some Mark Knopfler and others. I watch and listen regularly. Mark Allen is my favourite street musician. I used to travel from Canada to the UK every year or two. If I’d know about this man in Cardiff, I would have made the trip from the south just to see him play in the street. Just great. Rob Ottawa

[@rmatt375]

I met Mark yesterday at the Upton Blues Festival busking on the main street. Yes he sounds this good in real life and draws quite a crowd. He lives quite a long way away from Cardiff so don't expect to see him there every day. Best to try to get to Upton Blues Festival if you want to track him down. Beautifully music with so much feel. 👌👍👍👍👍

[@waynekieft4952]

Mark doesn't need that trem bar, he has got more than enough in his fingers!

[@daveperrin9408]

Absolutely beautiful playing. This guy love's his playing his face shows how much he enjoys playing to the public. I've watch a few of his guitar solos. Thank you for sharing this with us. Amazing talent.

like those who passed by the greatness that was Vincent van Gogh, so too are these souls - they do not listen, they do not know how - perhaps they'll listen now.

How is this being recorded and where can I find the backing tracks he uses? Truly talented musicianship. Never overplayed or fearful of the silences.

Check out Marks email, give him some time to reply to your questions. He's a busy guy and get's lots of mail...

Mark Allan is good,, "BUT" Hi praise must go to "ARTFROB" for this Video Plus all his other ones he has done,, other wise, you would just be watching a phone camera at work,, But as I said the guy doing the video should have thanks. I would love him to do mine (Gib Williamson KZbin),, but I doubt he would fly over to see me in New Zealand,,,, Gib

[@artfrob3754]

Hi praise indeed Gib. I've never been to New Zealand but if I do i will bring my camera and film you guys. The pair of you are good together....
