For all of you who havent seen this clip yet.

Looks like this young lady did a documentary with the help from John Ilsley

I enjoyed this video, Mary is a huge fan, and very lucky to have played Mark's guitars before last year's auction. I look forward to her longer documentary.

I wondered why it was filmed a couple years ago and only now surfaces.
I presume John agreed in order to publicise his book?

I guess it's because it is something Mary has produced herself and so it has taken longer, but st quicker than Henrik Hansen  ::)

i assume because she was working on the larger DS documentary? only now finished and only to be gotten on that new streaming service she co-founded?

Mary Spender plays in a very Knopfler style, in the sense of a very clear fender tone...

A Dire Straits documentary. What else is there to say that hasn't been said a million times already? I guess I'll have to sign up at Nebula to find out.
