Does somebody know if Mark ever played on any of the Jazz Festivals at Wiesen (Burgenland / Austria) ?

Hello, Joko,

at least I never heard or read about any MK/DS related gig at that festival. I found this archive on their homepage (I am sure you visited it already),
and there is no MK:

All the best!

hi LE,
you are right, I also have not found anything about MK in their archive ... but probably it is not complete.
Because in the meantime I found an interesting info on the tracker ...

... and if the comments of sudi are correct, then was that concert indeed at wiesen and not in vienna.

on another site it is confirmed  ...   http://www.mark-knopfler.info/tour1996.htm

Interesting to not these small things in venues like this from years back just like Badalona is not Barcelona.

Also since this is the GH tour you may be interested to note that the concert I was due to attend in Edinburgh was supposed to take place in the Usher Hall but the venue had a damaged roof due to bad weather (most unlike Scotland ;D) so we were relocated to Meadowbank Sports Centre!

Taking into account the cancelled Vaison concert they didn't have much luck with the weather on that tour did they? ;D
