MK at Hay-on-Wye
« on: June 04, 2012, 10:42:42 AM »
Have we missed something?   ???      Apparently, Mark has been to Hay-on-Wye again.  I really loved it when I went the last time he was there and would certainly have been there again, had I known.    :(


From Guy's forum this morning:


Question: I know you've said already that nothing can be said, but after reading this article and a paragraph on Mark it states "The former Dire Straits frontman and guitarist, who is about to embark on a tour of America with Bob Dylan, said....". Is another tour with Dylan true? And after hearing Corned Beef City and Privateering live last October i'm simply buzzin for the 3rd September!! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/cul[...]

 Guy:  Yes indeed it's true.



16.45 Martin Chilton finds out how words and books have influenced Dire Straits songs:
 
Mark Knopfler was talking on the Sky Arts Book Show with Mariella Frostrup about how books have influenced his songwriting. The former Dire Straits frontman and guitarist, who is about to embark on a tour of America with Bob Dylan, said: "I grew up with words and knew all the lyrics to things like Big Rock Candy Mountain. I can sing you a Bernard Cribbins song if you like."
 
The offer was rejected in favour of Knopfler singing, accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, a section of his song Sailing to Philadelphian. The lives of Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon are the subject of Knopfler

If you click on to the Telegraph link (on Guy's forum) there's a very nice picture of MK at the top of the page - wait a second or two for the arrow to appear!   :)

I agree on all points.
We are supposed to have tour(s) coming up and they don't say a word. I understand Bob has to announce his tour first but when it's about MK solo events ...

The photo is posted at Telegraph website:

13.44 We mentioned Dire Straits man Mark Knopfler earlier on - Digital Culture Editor Martin Chilton was quick to talk to him after his stint on Mariella Frostrup's Sky Arts book show. Here's a picture of the main man at Hay looking particularly relaxed:

The Book Show is both pompous and boring.  Frankly I don't want to see it and all I'll miss is yet another performance of Philly so not exactly anything new. :disbelief

If there was an audience present when Mark talked and played, it think it is pretty sad that this hasn't been mentioned anywhere. Why hide his performance from the fans? Anyway... A wonderful picture :)

It's an absolute shame.
But somehow it's really good.
I know at least one guy who is looking for a good reason to tape something he was not supposed to tape.
