It may not be a person at all.  We may have been sidetracked.  What about the gemstone?

Tough pick, might be a tie since he's already covered those subjects.

He did say farewell to Donegan AND he dug up that diamond in the mining game... 

[Dutchessy]

Maybe its both...

Since 00:00 h, you can hear a snippet here: https://wimp.no/wweb/track/39298237.
Sounds amazing. Lively, classic strat voice-guitar interplay. Old Straits fans are gonna drool.

[yontwocrows]

Oh yes, sounds good. And it's clearly the name of a person...

Finally! A new tune. I missed the guitar...
Like the opening, not sure with the rhythm section

Heavier drums would probably make it too much DS-like as it's already a typical DS song (uptempo, strat, sultans count-in).

That moment when Spotify wouldn't work in your country. Shame! I want to hear it, man!

[yontwocrows]

Oh, bad luck, foma. That must be hard.
@Thetimewaswrong: Probably you're right. At the outro i felt somehow reminded on Communique (Don't beat me for that, don't know why)

[Jules]

Anyone catched the lyrics? Splendid song!

Lyrics transcribed by allmighty shangri la 1:

Beryl, was on another level
When she got her Booker medal
She was dead in her grave
After all she gave
After all she gave

Beryl, every time they

I just downloaded the spotify app and registered... The link works but I can't click on it and listen... There is only a "random play" button. I don't want to hear Cleaning My Gun!

[rosco]

My guess is Beryl Bainbridge.
Lyrics mention "booker medal when she's dead in her grave".  Not many lyrics to this song....not sure what to make of it. Same lyrics repeated a lot. "After all she gave" and "it's all too late now" etc etc. to be honest if it wasn't for the little guitar break I would have sworn that the same 30 seconds are being played on a loop for 3 minutes.
