Guy's Forum

[Love Expresso]

Just imagine him sitting him alone on a stage surroubded by his acoustics and tell stories about the songs and stuff that inspires him. But it seems he never will enter any stage without Guy.

Guy already said in August that he would go into the studio with MK. But ... as there are no planned tourdates yet I am afraid we have to wait for a new tour till 2018 

Geez.  Mark is already way beyond his years.  At this rate the band will have to wheel him out and the twiddly bits on Sultans will have to be played by John on his cittern! 

A possible setlist for these gigs could be:

      Grandfather and Son
      Sultans of Sway
      Postcards from Blackpool
      Sit Down Guy
      I Dug Up a Fossil
      This Is It
      The Fizzy and the Steradent
      Stiff Shoulder
      Resthome Farewell

I am currently in the studio with Mark Knopfler working on a project which we are very excited about. I cannot divulge any details at the moment, a good reason to stay tuned to my new site.

Dutchessy, thanks a lot for posting the news here.
That one I saw on Facebook. About Guy's forum I must say it gets worse every day. How exactly  do you access it? There are three pages with about 61 posts at the moment. Every time I open a page, let it be 1 or 3, it shows Guy's welcome post. No idea which one is new, which was the latest one and so on. It gets worse day by day. I have the feeling that his brother Leon has not the slightest idea what he is doing, or less harsh, what it is that is needed. He f.e. copied the whole forum into this place first , than back into that...
Really a total mess. I always thought MK surrounds himself by professionals..

How great it is to have AMIT. And this time I don't mean the people or the atmosphere but the pure technical structure: easy, good looking, intelligent, well structured, in the hand of people who know what they want and how to achieve it.

It sounds more and more like a unusual, maybe "big" thing. I really hope it will NOT be a Dire Straits re-union or something similar.. A duet album though with John Illsley, playing bass and singing (only) background vocals, would be very nice, to give back some PUNCH into MK's music...

I guess it must have something to do with the Dire Straits jubilee next year, on the one way or the other.. remember my post about a Jubilee Box?

A record with John Illsley and MK... That would be great...

Misterious words from a misterious man, that usually leds to disappoinment

In the meantime, we're cleaning our gun...

ay. I have the feeling that his brother Leon has not the slightest idea what he is doing, or less harsh, what it is that is needed. He f.e. copied the whole forum into this place first , than back into that...

Leon is his youngest son, not his brother 

[Jules]

Do you know all his brothers? As far as I know, he has three brothers...

[Elin N]

You obvouisly won't believe me anyway so let it be his brother then. Go for a walk

This does not sound like just a new album but with Guy you never know. 
Perhaps another duet album, this time with Ruth

Is not that I don´t believe you, I know he has a son called Leon. Do you know if one of his brothers is called Leon as well?
