A great diary entry.
VERY cool pics.
Love the pics of Mark's 12 string guitar.
I must admit, i've never seen it before.?
I've certainly never seen Mark play a 12 string before.!
Can anyone shed any light on Mark having ever played one before.?

MY GOD. These pics are causing me to shake in anticipation.

Cheers   BBB

I recall pictures of 1983 where Mk was playing that guitar, and I read long ago it was for portobello belle, but my memory is not so good...

Chuck ponders a piano comp (on screen) Matt had just recorded an overdub on a song which Mark an I worked on back in 2006 but it never made it onto KTGC. We're all very glad it has resurfaced as it's absolutely gorgeous

Pretty funny to see the Burns Double Six so soon after we were discussing it on this very forum. 

I have one of the modern re-issues, I can really recommend it if you are in the market for a reasonably priced electric 12 string, very well made guitar.

Here's me with mine a few years ago.

Some pictures of the string section have now arrived on Guy's Studio Diary!  This new album sounds very interesting.  I'm getting excited now, can't wait 'til September!

The pics are great.!!!!!!!

ARGHHHHHHHHHHH. THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME.!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried to see if i could read the track name on the sheet music, but too blurred.

I love the sound of violins, and especially cellos.

Cheers BBB

Great news about the new album on Richard Bennett's site!

This is what he says:

 


"Just back from London and another couple of weeks recording with Mark Knopfler and the band for his new album. I won't go into detail, but will go out on a limb and say this is the best one we've done so far. It will be loads of fun to play on stage when we tour again. "

Thank you for this news Val! This news sounds so great!

I already told Jans yesterday that except going to the concert in Amsterdam, I also would like to go to Edingburgh next year! Hhhmmm he didn't say much yet, but hey ............I have about one year to save money and persuade him so we can go!

Fieneke,  How about Newcastle too!   

[Fieneke2]

Haha, hey Val..........IF I had the time and money to visit more concerts in Europe for example London also where more fans will be, I would like to visit more concerts, but ..........I know we can't! 

Hey we can talk about it when we meet next weekend in Amsterdam, ........at least when Jans feels well!

There's an exciting new update on the Recording Diary - the children are doing some vocals!   

[Rollergirl]

oh thanks Val, I had missed that! Interesting!

[Fieneke2]

LOL Val, quick as always, I saw the picture too and also Kitty and if I am right Mark's daughters. It seems the other children are from others involved in the new album and from friends? 

I am getting soooo curious now what kind of music and songs there will be at the new album! 

Btw Guy doesn't want to give the names of the kids, so let's have fun and see who we recognize!

- Kitty isn't too difficult..second lady right side in the back.
- Isabella..........perhaps front left first girl
- Katya next to her??
- Glenn with his daughter on his arms?

Does anyone know or dare to guess who the other children are?
