Ooooooooh dear! If it is an official CD single, I want one!

Perhaps it happens   It is not confirmed (as usual) by the way:

P.S. I tired to look for this information. Google.com> knopfler+single+"border reiver" and on 16th page I got lucky 

That would be awesome!

I live a secret double life
And i said i wasn't going to listen to any songs until the release date, but the DJ sprang it on me.
I loved it of course.

    Alex Lester show from 19th August is available here:-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00m456s

He intro's Border Reiver at about 2:41:30 on the program (just drag the indicator along). Interesting that most of the intro flute was bye passed. Alex said after the song that "He's doing an Eric Clapton thingy 1-2-3-4-5-6 nights at the RAH starting on the 30th May next year".  

EDIT:-BBC2 playlists

From memory I think the last first tracks off the last few albums have been "B" listed, except This Is Us which was "A" listed and on Radio 2 all the time.

I see Jon Allan, who supported MK and EH in 2006, gets more plays than MK!

Also Michael Bolton gets more plays than MK, which is surely a joke. That guy is a complete ******* ****. I want to start an "I Hate Michael Bolton" thread but better not.

[Barzofarhyme]

I thought i recognised the guy. I'm pretty sure he said that MK was going to be playing on a track on his album but i can't find any trace of it. Incidentally i've actually seen Michael Bolton live a couple of times and he really does have an excellent voice and puts on a pretty good live show. He also had Kenny G playing with him on one of the gigs and that guy really is amazing. On both the occasions we have seen him live my wife was pregnant so we won't be going to see him again   . Also,i've never been surrounded by so many screaming females as i was at the NEC in  Birmingham when seeing him live  

Incidentally Dusty,if you start a " I hate Michael Bolton" thread you'll have my very angry wife to deal with and i wouldn't recommend that

is Michael Bolton - the goon with "the hair" - or at least had "the hair" until someone told him how shite 'The Mullet' looks!!?
