The Road To Hell / Chris Rea, instrumental by Mark Allen

The sun shone in Cardiff this weekend, then Mark Allen came by and really brightened up the day....

That guitar shows the years of anguish and pain. The soul of a man who understands the spirit of music.

Not too many Cardiff people even understanding how good this guy is. This is a flawless performance by an unknown guitar maste. check out his other works. Well done Mark, I'm sure Chris would be very pleased.

and again the puppet people walk past again. I absolutely cannot understand that. When I see such a talented artist, I would stop and stay there all day to listen to Mark's music.

Why am I crying with joy?
His playing reaches parts of me that I didn't know existed.
❤😢😊

And the punters stroll by, on the pavements of Hell, unmoved... pretty much sums up Joe Public. Utterly brilliant performance, no slide in sight, still truly nailed it. Bravo, wish I knew where this guy plays live...

In an era of soulless AI-generated sounds, this feels like a true breath of fresh air

Слушал Марка с этой песней не один десяток раз, энергетика однозначная лучшая! Даже Крис не всегда играл на этом уровне! Был три раза на его концерте! Спасибо за песню! Среди кавер - версией - лучшая!!!! Марку удачи!!!

Been feeling depressed recently.
No job, No money.
Hardly picked my guitar up in over a month.
It's starting to think I don't love it anymore !
I shouldn't complain, there's lots worse off than me.
Reading the comments here about my playing has really helped me.
Thank you to everyone who has bothered to make such kind comments.
Now where's my plectrum ?
Stay safe out there.
Mark Allen.

Sir you deserve more recognition. That song tells a lot. It tells a story of a good ol friend that is no longer here. Hes lost. . lost in the road to 😢

[John-obdh]

I am same, i play blues, but nothing like him .I would be there listening as long as he played .

[paulspickernell]

Absolutely amazing, you can see he feels every note, and so do I, he should be playing in stadiums, wow

[elpoppyb]

Non capisco come la gente non si fermi a sentire uno spettacolo di un talento simile.
Fantastico!...👏👏👏👏
Meriteresti molto di più della sola strada x suonare.
👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤

Класс!!! Я слушал, не мог даже пошевелиться. Музыка чудесная!

[elsombero]

This is just a masterpiece. As far as I heard, Chris Rea retired a while ago and we won't be seeing any new releases anymore but songs like this or "Texas" really showed how amazing his songs are.
However, it's also funny that his songs are always played on the radio whenever there's something stressful going on. For example, my workplace got hit with a cyber attack and when I was responding and trying to limit the amount of damage, The Road To Hell was playing form my co-worker's internet radio player. Then, 7 weeks ago I was stuck in traffic because the highway was flooded and many people (including me) had regular European cars which could hydrolock if water would go into the air intake. So, when I was building a snorkel with plastic bottles, vacuum cleaner hose and self seal plastic rubber tape, this song started playing in the radio. This really made me smile because the radio station couldn't find a better moment to play that song than the moment where I was modifying my car XD

I met this wonderful man years ago when i lived in swansea and he just blew me away, he gave me a lot of encouragement as i was honing my craft as a guitarist. So thankyou Mark for everything.
