Well done Ken!  I like Ken Bruce - seems a nice guy when he's been interviewed.  I also liked the sessions Mark did on his show in 2004 for SL promo.

There I was minding my own business, listening to the one and only Chris Evans while drinking a coffee at work at 7.15am Yesterday morning (Wednesday) when out of the blue came the edited 'Beryl'!!! Wahay I've heard it on the radio at last.... Chris Evans seemed very impressed with the tune calling it a 'beautiful tune' by the one and only Mark Knopfler....

I thought is a new song will be played. Change topic title please, don't be so cruel

It's currently on the Radio 2 "A" playlist so lots of plays this week.

Agree, "new song" should be changed into "Beryl"

Do we really need to be informed of every time it gets airplay though?  A topic that was interesting at first but now seems rather pointless.

I'm interested.  Certainly seems like the most airplay he's had on uk radio in a long time. Probably since Why Aye Man.

Should result in a strong chart placing for the album.

As I recall, 'Boom, Like That' also got a reasonable amount of airplay when it got into the B-list back in 2004, and it was also Record of the Week. Interestingly though, Shangri-La did not make it into the UK top ten and was the only one of Mark's solo albums not to do so. Whatever the case, it's good to hear Mark getting some deserved exposure on the airwaves. Though you would have to say that it probably has something to do with the fact that 'Beryl' does have that distinctly early Straits-esque feel!
