I've just won 2 tickets to see Mark Knopfler at The Albert Hall next month. Should be a cracking night plus I've got one of the boxes not just your ordinary seat.

You kind of set yourself up for that one.

Hope it's sound proof

It really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, just enjoy yourself. He is clearly a good musician, even if he isn't to everybody's taste. Unfortunately it is a British tradition to hate everyone who becomes popular. Musical snobbery of the worst kind - kindled by a very sad British music press.

.. and possibly because he started the thread with "I know everyone is gonna say he's shit..."

No, it would have happened anyway. He was only stating the obvious.

True, he is shit

I presume the second prize was TWO boxes to see Knopfler play etc

Fantastic guitarist, ignore all the music Nazis on here who's opinion isn't worth diddly squat if they can't see/hear that

Will be excellent as he also has a large repertoire of songs. Maybe a guest appearance by Emmylou Harris?

 

[Bluejuice]

I like him.

Dire Straits are well LEGEND.

You enjoy yourself

A superb guitarist in my view (but I'm sure others will differ). I never tire of listening to those silky sounds. Up there with Dave Gilmour for me.

Enjoy.

According to a quick check on Google "A Bunch of Philistines" do appear to be some kind of group, but they haven't been heard of since Samson brought the house down.

Summed up perfectly

yet again Mark Kermode and the so-called experts like him may pan it but the public knows better and I found Love Over Gold very moving and wept at the end 8.1

 

[Barnet Seagull]

It's actually a very decent venue for that sort of concert, so I'd be surprised if you didn't enjoy yourself.

I saw him about 18months ago at Wembley with Emmylou Harris.

Have to say I found some of his stuff cringeworthy, and craved more from EH.
Her voice sent shivers down the spine.

Oh well, good excuse for an Emmylou vid I suppose;
