Hi All,
I am 37 from Southampton, England. Been a DS/MK since late 80's.

I have seen MK:
Bournemouth BIC twice
London, RAH
Brighton Centre
Birningham NEC
And Newcastle City Hall, for the Silver Heart presentation Variety Club lunch, which was on my birthday, so you could say I have spent my birthday with Mark Knopfler

[BirdStrike]

thank you Pottel

Hi I'm Ben (Fordie) from the southcoast of England.  I'm 35 years old (god it looks worse when you write it )

Been a DS/Knopfler fan since about 1985/6 I saw Money For Nothing and Walk of Life on MTV.  My first actual album was Communique which was before I even really took much notice of Sultans Of Swing.  As time grew I got as much stuff about the Man himself and have been totally hooked, ever since.

There has not been nor will there ever be a musician as amazing as Mark Knopfler.  He inspired me to start playing guitar when I was 15 years old and been playing ever since.

Long live the God/Master/Virtuoso... Mark Knopfler.

Not many people here from the other side of the Iron Curtain, right?
Well, I'm one of them, from Slovakia. Not that many people here know about DS/MK, and sometimes I feel like there is just one real fan of DS/MK in my country...
Seen MK 3 times, Bratislava 1996, Wien 2008, 2010.

Btw, just like Jackal said, I find the "present" music of MK kinda boring, so I just listen to his live shows.

Hi,

Nice to meet you all ! I'm 20, I'm from Brittany (an almost independant region in Western France... actually living "on the other side of the Iron Curtain", in Prague. I never had the chance to see the Sultan of the Strat, the concert tickets too expensive for me, but I managed to get a copy of the  National Duolian. I've been a fan of Knopfler since my early childhood and playing some songs from him in a lot of little bands.

I 'm Fabian, 20 years old, from Uruguay, yes, Uruguay, in South America... that little country between Brazil (next football world cup host) and Argentina
Been a Knopfler fan for 8 years i think and i've never seen DS nor MK live, the only time he came down here i was 10 (didn't even know who MK was) so every time i read that someone's seen him live is like a knife to the heart. Consecuentally, when i learn that someone has seen the man live over 7 times, i feel the urge to climb to the top of a 35 story building and jump... but in a healthy way
Anyway, the only means i have to enjoy Mark's tours is to download audience recordings, if only he came to this continent again...Oh well, crossing fingers for the 2012 tour!

And to the people who leave before Dylan's set, I only know like 5 songs from him and i dont mean no disrespect, but what the hell? That's Bob Dylan up there!
