14th June 1979 - Newcastle City Hall. I took some pics with a very cheap instamatic camera. No one has ever seen them and due to size limits on here am not able to post them. Am happy to email to anyone who would like to see them.

Thank you, Simon! Sometimes low-quality pictures like that makes it all the more personal. It's YOUR experience, not something that is projected via a professional photographer with pro gear.


Must have been amazing to be there, and to know today that you were there, at the beginning of something huge.

I was about to edit and post them this morning, I'm glad you managed to do it yourself, Simon!

Yes it was. I had already seen Dire Straits in November 1978 at a very small intimate gig (maybe 200) at Durham University having been listening to the album since March 1978 before it was officially released.

A very interesting picture auction in ebay this week. A piece of history in paper. A shot from 70's? Anybody knows the date? I think a similar shot appears in a book. Colin Irwin book maybe? In that picture, which I don't place now, I had always thought Mark was with John, but the man who smiles behind Mark doesn't look like John. Any help?

It's Ron Watts from Brewers Droop 1973, similar to the one in the Myles Palmer biography.

From Myles Palmer book:

"Roadie Steve Kane replaces the band's car engine in 1973, aided by hairy guitarist and even hairier Ron Watts"

No Mention of John MacKay.
