Alan Clark plays new single Romeo and Juliet (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Outstanding! Alan's input in this song is quite remarkable. The outro is a masterpiece on its own, so is the intro. As far as I'm concerned he came up with this beautiful outro modulation idea, it really adds to the song. Can't imagine the song without it, actually! And I always love solo piano versions of songs because that's the king of all instruments.

It is weird that nearly 30 years after the band split these guys are still living off DS.

"Any more poor old fakers, trying to dance in my old shoes..."

  but according to a reply by Alan on FB he is not the one(s) menitoned in ToTT, and he was in contact with MK only last week....

Alan: "Backstory" is an album of tracks that I’ve played on with various artists and bands, over the years.
The first track is Dire Straits’ Romeo and Juliet, the rest of the album becomes available later in the year.

maybe TOTT is about Phil Palmer?

[Pottel]

but why? he is only a side figure in the whole DS story? what did he do to annoy mark that much that he had to write a song about it?

[Love Expresso]

Mark would probably answer that it is not about him or Dire Straits. Maybe another band leading Musician he is friendly with told him about it and Mark could relate to it. Phil Palmer would fit hair and Fender wise plus behaving like an arrogant arse but he was just a hired gun and not important enough to get this attention.

MK didn't like he started the band "The Straits" with such a confuse name.

It's strange as Phil says in his book that he records in British Grove from time to time and they always say hi to each other very normally.
