All About Eve
Price was recruited to All About Eve in 1988 just before their
first album was released. He
therefore appeared on the album cover even though the majority of the
songs did not feature him - having benefited either from a drum
machine or the Mission's Mick
Brown. He did, however, become the mainstay drummer of the band,
featuring on all the band's albums up to Ultraviolet.
Even when Julianne Regan left the
band in 1993 he briefly carried on with Marty Willson-Piper
and Andy
Cousin to create the one-off album Seeing
Stars.
Mice
Mark was the only other ex-All About Eve musician (apart from Regan)
to be a full-time member of Mice. He played the drums on every track
that features them on their one album ...Because
I Can.
Del Amitri
After Mice disbanded in 1997, Price joined Del
Amitri. He toured extensively with them and appears on the
2002 album Can You Do Me Good?
and the Top 40 hit singles "Don't Come Home
Too Soon" (1998),
"Cry To Be Found" (1998) and "Just Before You Leave" (2002).
All About Eve reunion
Price played the drums for the All About Eve reunion tour in
1999 but stayed with Del Amitri and so All About Eve carried on without
him touring acoustically.
Live Aid
Price's career also includes playing at the Live Aid
concert in July 1985
as the drummer in Nik Kershaw's backing group.
