Personal story regarding Mark Knopfler dating back to October 2011. Bob Dylan was touring and MK was his opening act. I like a lot of Dylan's material but had no desire to see him live and even though I was/am still a big fan of MK I was not keen on seeing him as a support act.
My sister-in-law is a big Dylan fan and had seen him before and was always playing his music and raving about how good he was live. She wanted to go through to Glasgow (Braehead Arena) to see him with her husband but they had no transport at the time. She knew I liked MK so bought me a ticket with the arrangemnet I would drive us all through to Glasgow. I thought why not, another chance to see MK and I will bear the Dylan part!!
They both knew the music of Dire Straits but had never heard any of his solo material so played some of his music in the car so they were used to the type of music they were going to hear. After arriving we enjoyed a nice meal and then made our way to the arena. Settled down into our seats (which had a great view) and then the show began. Mark was brilliant as usual, crowd enthusastic about his music. What can I say about Dylan - his voice was rubbish and he never spoke in between any of the songs, I really did not enjoy that part of the show. The interesting part was the journey back.
As soon as we got in the car my sister-in-law asked me to put on MK music I had. For the journey that lasted about an hour she kept on raving about how good MK was totally overshadowed Dylan. I have never seen her so overwhelmed with what she had experienced at the concert. She went there to see Dylan but came away being a fan of MK. To this day we still have a laugh about it.
Thanks for the interview, much appreciated
I have always enjoyed Hackett's solo albums and even the recent ones I have quite enjoyed. Normally I will buy his new releases within a week of them coming out but still have not got this one. I think I have heard one song from it but can't remember what it was called. Been interesting to hear the very different reviews.
I will hopefully get it by the weekend and look forward to listening to it
Looking forward to the new MK album. Going to pre-order the 2cd version

I gave it 12 points. It is a good song but there are better on the album
Great to hear a new song from Billy Joel. I really enjoyed it. Have all of his albums but prefer his output up to 1980
Guy Garvey played the first 4 parts of The Ninth Wave on his BBC 6Music show earlier. Until he cut it off at that point I was becoming convinced he was going to play the whole thing.
He has always had good taste
A solid 11 but there are better songs on the album
Not his best but still a good song. I gave it a 12
If I remember correctly, he participated in the Big Blue Ball project with Peter Gabriel. I think he actually wrote the title song.
RIP...
He played a big part in the project contributing on many songs
I gave it a 13. Shows the potential of what could have been if they continued
Sorry to hear of the passing of Karl Wallinger, a very talented musician
