Don't remember the year. 1975?

Most likely around that time - certainly the Brewers Droop years..

More.......
Throughout 1973, The Droop continued to record a proposed second album while undergoing various line-up changes. Pick Withers took over on drums for a short spell before Walker returned. Shortly thereafter, Timms left and was replaced by new bassist Steve Nachi.
Around the same time, Mark Knopfler was recruited as the group's primary guitarist, allowing Mackay to come to the fore more as a co-lead vocalist with Watts. Knopfler split his time between teaching part-time, and playing with the band.

Hope that helps...

He's there 'high lighted' in big print! ;)

Of note Steve Darrington who played with MK in Brewers Droop now organises a Blues Festival here in Dorset a stones throw away from me...

The deeper I seem to look into MK and 'Brewers Droop' the more interesting it gets!

Love this quote:

Brewers Droop -
'at an audition in the Nags Head, High Wycombe, Mark Knopfler auditioned with a red guitar, a flat hat, and joined the band'

More:

Knopfler and Withers (who had not actually been in The Droop at the same time) went on to great success in the band Dire Straits.

As perhaps a bit of an in-joke, the Dire Straits song "Industrial Disease" (which Knopfler wrote and sang, and Withers drummed on) mentions "Brewer's Droop" in the context of a diagnosed malady, alongside smoker's cough.

It is a pity that there are no videos from this period.
