Fog on the Tyne: The Alan Hull Story (w/t)

Daisybeck Studios

The story of the singer and songwriter from Geordie super-group Lindisfarne. Alan Hull was dubbed ‘the Geordie Dylan’ for his ability to compose a wide range of classic tracks in the 1970s. His songs included Lady Eleanor, Fog On The Tyne, Winter Song, Clear White Light and Run For Home.

Hull wrote about love and friendship, but also championed the underdog and the misunderstood, and celebrated working class culture in his hometown.

In this film, Brit award-winner Sam Fender explores the archives and discovers the real Alan Hull. We also hear contributions from Sting, The Unthanks, Elvis Costello, Kay Greyson and Mark Knopfler.

Looking at this pic, it sadly doesn't look like MK will be up for much touring to promote the next album....

How should he be up to promote an album that hasn't been finished yet?

Mark's old man posture doesn't look extremely healthy here or maybe it was just an extremely awkward split-second to take a picture. Who takes pictures while somebody is going to sit anyway? Most importantly, what the guy on the left was doing? Looks like he held Mark's nose before the shot. A terrible picture indeed.

I don't think it is fair or helpful to judge Mark's health as he is in the process of sitting down A photo of a top class athlete can make them look awkward with the wrong shot!!

'Hey, Mahk! Maaaahk! Smell this!'

I know his posture isn't the best but here I think Mark is leaning forward to get his mic clipped on by the sound man. 

On another note, Mark used to always have such classy footwear but has taken to wearing trainers in recent years.  Did he arrive at BG on his skateboard?  The choice of the teenager, not the ageing rocker!

I liked the brown leather boots that he wore on the 2010 tour.  Not too keen on the trainers, but maybe they're more comfortable these days.

Mark Knopfler fought the war against fashion from day one of his career and never had a chance to win.

Someone skateboarding when they’re too old for it sounds like the sort of topic Mark would write a song about…..
