One Deep River / The Boy / Re: The Boy EP (01) Mr Solomans Said
« Last post by Matchstickman on Today at 06:12:30 PM »Interesting tune, this one! The opening had me hooked immediately, but then it...stopped! 
The groove returns later on, but this business of having the full band playing and then cutting it down to just Mark (think Privateering) has always felt a bit jarring to me. A song usually works better when it builds, rather than takes away (again and again).
The lyrics mention jazz, and the tune sounds a bit jazzy when it gets going, but also like swing, doesn't it?

« Last post by Knopflerfan on Today at 04:18:07 PM »I like the echoes of the fair at the beginning very much. Great song.
I like the song a lot (and the whole EP), but I wouldn’t miss the sound footage. I prefer if musicians (playing instruments) evoke an atmosphere (like Greg Leisz often does on the album) – it’s more interesting and less obvious.
Ooh I really like the opening of this song and for me it really starts the journey through these 4 special songs.

Mark Knopfler Discussion Forum / Re: MK on Brexit
« Last post by ds1984 on Today at 04:02:41 PM »I don't follow the Garrick Club controversy closely and I find hard to opinion about someone I don't personaly know.
Of course knowing that Mark is part of this club is questionning.
Just I have difficulties to think that Mark would have actively supported that rule before the scandal arised. Very personal opinion.
Some call him an hypocrite but was that question just out of his scope ?
Well anybody can say ?

Mark Knopfler Discussion Forum / Re: MK on Brexit
« Last post by stratmad on Today at 01:39:28 PM »Whatever the motivation was for joining, it seems like a whole bunch of creative people (including MK, Stephen Fry and Sting), are now threatening to quit:
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/apr/30/garrick-club-women-female-members-stephen-fry-sting.
They have penned an open letter, explaining their cause:
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/mar/22/equality-groups-urge-cultural-elite-to-give-up-garrick-club-membership
This has obviously turned into a highly political matter, and it's no longer only about the Garrick, but a whole system. I'm amazed to see MK not just making very clear statements, but actually starting a "revolution". Keep surprising us, Mark!

« Last post by Knopflerfan on Today at 01:33:25 PM »You mention the WI which like you say is Women only unlike the Mothers Union which is open to all it appears...
maybe its time for change all round and to make things inclusive and that is what Mssrs Fry and Knopfler want to do with the Garrick Club.
Maybe the Garrick Club can take a leaf out of Marylebone Cricket Club which from 1787 until 1998 was a solely male orientated club. In 1998 Women were allowed as members and by all accounts the MCC is flourishing!
