October - Robertson had a special invitation to France to play on the tv show “One Shot Not”. Robertson played some shows in Bordeaux prior to the taping in Paris. For the taping Mark was backed by bass legend Marcus Miller and on drums, Manu Katche, even Kesiah Jones(right) sat in on the jam at the end of the night. It will be aired in both France and Germany on Jan 26. A huge thanks must go out to Julie Cruet for making it all possible.

Robertson, Favorite People (Independent)
Like a sort of fifth Beatle, Mark Robertson has looked on as his old Bullfrog bandmates Kid Koala and Dessy DiLauro graduated to fame and fortune - the former as a world-class DJ and the latter as a singer for Cirque du Soleil.
But Robertson has never stopped making music. In fact, he has gotten better at it. While Bullfrog’s acid-jazz-style funk was always a party, this solo disc (featuring many of his old bandmates, including Kid Koala dropping subtle scratches throughout) has a wonderfully laid-back blue-eyed soul vibe that oozes nothing-to-prove maturity. No tricks or schtick, just sweet tunes sung with feeling by a guy with heart.
If you don’t believe me, download it for free at www.robertsonmark.com.
Robertson opens for Yael Naim and David Donatien tonight at 9:30 at Théâtre Maisonneuve of Place des Arts. Tickets cost $27.50 to $32.50. Call 514-842-2112.
