@arieaaron dat ben ik al

[snarlacarla]

I didn't realize that Knopfler was a Glaswegian, like Craig Ferguson and the only man we met while in Great Britain was Glaswegian because we were shy fools; for the most part it was my boyfriend who was anti-social, not I. And I walked down to Electric Avenue and felt wonderful at one of the flea markets.

is that one of the shops in Denmark Street?

[scottyh4848]

Mark Knoffler is a legend!

[creativebollocks]

im sorry but I have to say "Get Lucky" is a steaming pile of shit. It sounds like any old amateur irish pub music.

[magicelliotth]

@creativebollocks is this a joke?

[creativebollocks]

@magicelliotth no, unfortunately not.

[magicelliotth]

@creativebollocks All the band think it's the best project they've ever done.

The tour sold out very quickly and the reception was superb. His keyboard plays wesbite will testify.

I'm sorry it didn't do anything for you

[rshangrila]

@creativebollocks If you can't appreciate the beauty of a song like Monteleone (from Get Lucky) then you've got shit for ears, mate.

THANKS SOOOO MUCH! Was wondering what happened to MK. Glad to see he's aged just as I have:) MK & Dire Straits, 2 legends. I like that quote:.. "Fastest fingers in the west....."

[Thronsohn]

very soon music will be banned by muslims!

[chrispy3210]

hey mate, thanks for posting. Is it just me, or when MK is chatting in the pub with Phil when they first sit down, that MK has a bit more of a Scottish accent than norrmal?

[manos626]

between 7:00 and 7:20 he kinda sounds like hendrix,i mean his voice

[DamagedInsakts]

funtastic love this video

[raidereddie]

Imagine stumbling into that shop on that day? 

[Jackiesstash08]

@raidereddie i would have pestered Mark for a guitar lesson.

[ShortyLee4]

@raidereddie that was my first thought too! haha

"In the Big Rock Candy Mountain

All the cops have wooden legs

The bulldogs all have rubber teeth

And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs"

Hahaha - I had that record too! Really wonderful stuff - thanks for posting!

[Antonioghurt]

Does anyone know what brand accordion Phil has?

[dwittersnacker]

DogSwede, You never cease to amaze me (much like MK) with your wonderful posts. Thanks again!

[JeanneRousseau]

I really enjoyed this, thank you!

[DanskeSange]

Where are they? What town? :-)

[pteradac]

Incredible that MK, despite his amazing success (or because of it) as a musical genius, finds such joy in the simple childhood songs that I can remember singing as well--going back to his roots while incorporating that rootsy feel more and more in his songs. It's such a pleasure to see him truly enjoying himself in this interview.

[joakorey]
