[Music] Sir Mark Knopfler. Please.

[Leekbrookgull]

Music is art therefore subjective,class art. My POV worthy of Sir Mark at least i would respect it !! :clap :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD4LWIy675Y

If he is knighted, will he get his chicks for free

Would be more happy if it was Sir John Lydon.

Fair point.

If we are talking guitarists then it has to be Sir Vini Reilly, and it will have to be soon.

Saw a recent photo, would never have thought he was just 66, 50 plus years of smoking industrial amounts of ganja every day has caught up with him...

I’d underrated him, the music of Dire Straits in the main not my thing, then a couple of months back I heard the song Brothers in Arms at the very end of the brilliant tv series The Americans. Studio or live .... an astonishing song, vocals and sensitive guitar play.

Dire Straits were very very good but a bit marmite. Personally, whilst I like their music and rate MK highly, I think there are many better candidates, whether they be alive or dead.

The regular re-emergence of this plea is getting a bit tiresome.

Had one of his pieces played at my dad’s funeral a couple of weeks ago........was perfect. Get’s my vote for that alone.

Not a plea,i can,t do this can you ? Or maybe you would prefer Sir/Dame Hilary Nobody for 12 years government service in Malta,must be a hard life.

What was the music ?

Our Shangri-La, mum’s choice, one of his favourites

Some years ago the brother of a workmate of my brother took a pub in Watford. His wife was/is a relative of MK and a local group were booked to play. It transpired that it was MK and Dire Straits who went on to play most of their latest LP which was Brother in Arms. Apparently they wanted to play and agreed the gig for free provided it was not advertised as being Dire Straits.

Was Brother in Arms the name of the pub in Watford?

I dont know the name of the pub but apparently it went on to become a well known local music venue. Wife and I did a relief at a pub in Watford called The Leviathon when the manager was beaten up about 43 years ago.

Have you and your wife done a relief

 

[BensGrandad]

It was in the late 70s about 78 and was a managed house for Truman Hanbury & Buxton who we worked for and the manager got involved ina fight and was beaten up so we were drafted in to restore order and look after the pub until a new manager could be found.
