I just came across this old article about Kitty Adridge, MK
-
Hi jbaent! When I was at Hay-on-Wye in 2007 Kitty was interviewed by Mariella Frostrup and she explained to us about her difficulties with reading and writing and about the ITA system. She was promoting her book "Cryers Hill" and told us that she gave up acting to be with the children and to write her books. It was a really interesting interview and Kitty was very eloquent and open about her difficulties with reading, etc. She seemed to me a really lovely person and very beautiful too.
It was a very memorable occasion for more than one reason. We were seated on the front row and just two or three seats to our left sat Mark and Isabella! Kitty signed her book for me and allowed my husband to take our photo.
-
I never know what you folks know or don't know. So....
Mariella Frostrup was the publicity person at MK's record company's London office about 20 years ago. Somewhere, I have a photocopy of a press release she wrote about INFIDELS.
They got back a long way, maybe earlier than I've indicated.

Very curious that Mariella Fostrup was working for MK management or record company and later she made a name by herself...
About the Kitty Aldridge books. I saw in amazon that are pretty cheaps. Are they any good? I

There had been a short article in THE SUN for 13 June 1983, headlined "Dylan Disc In Dire Straits". It suggested that there been a disagreement between Dylan and Mark, that Mark had walked out to tour with Dire Straits and thatr Dylan was miffed, especially as this project was running late.
In response, Phonogram issued the press release I mentioned. It said that Dylan had approached Mark in January 1983and that Mark's management had cleared some space in his diary by moving seven Dutch dates planned for early May to early June. There was a contract between Dylan and Mark specifying the dates Mark was available and allowing Dylan to take on anyone else if he wanted. It also says that the album was recorded between 11 April and 8 May, that Mark had finished his contribution as required and that Dylan was currently mixing the album in New York.
The contact at the Phonogram Press Office was Mariella Frostrup. I didn't get this information until 25 June. I now wish that I had called her.
Subsequently, Mark was interviewed in a French magazine or on French radio and said he was unhappy with the additional mixing done on the album. It is clear that mark had played the interviewer recordings of his own mix for the album. I can't find the specific source of this information.
Can someone here help with the details of this?

Hi jbaent! I have only read "Cryers Hill" and I enjoyed it very much, but, I agree, Kitty does have a style of writing which is unique to her and it may be more difficult to follow if English isn't your first language, especially as there is some dialect to understand. Please don't let me put you off, though, because I think your English is pretty good.
I notice that she has just had another book published - her third, "A Trick I Learned From Dead Men", about a funeral business! I'll probably buy when it comes out in paperback! :)

Thanks Superval99
None of his books are translated to spanish, so if I want to read anything from her, I should buy the english books. I read some bad comments about "Pop", his first book, and some good ones about the second one, but I

it's a small world I say. Anyway, what exactly do you mean with "miffed".

Actually, we are talking about Kitty Aldridge
-
For pottel, "miff", as a noun, means a slight feeling of resentment. It is commonly used in a phrase such as "I was a bit miffed", meaning, "I was upset, a little angry and/or offended and slightly resentful". It is a colloquial word, not slang and certainly not rude or offensive. Another way of saying it in everyday conversation is "put out", as in "I was a bit put out". Both refer to being unhappy about something but not strongly so.
It seems that jbaent is miffed by my mention of Dylan in this thread. In answer to him, the name of Mariella Frostrup appeared in a previous posting. I thought others might be interested in the fact that the connection with Mark goes back almost 30 years. My knowledge happened to have a Dylan link, that's all. I don't think the Dylan mention was gratuitous.
-
I got the same remarks last week...
should we start a new thread each time we want to talk about something which is not DIRECTLY related to the original topic ?
What is the best way ? threads with 5,10 ,20 (or more) pages or 5,10,20 (or more) "shorts" threads per day ?
Sincerely, I don't know, and maybe the 2 ways can fit.
However, I agree with twm, IMHO I think he was right to talk about Dylan and Mariella Fostrup, in a way it is "linked" to Kitty, at least Mariella Fostrup was quoted in the first reply.
twm, I have to say that all of your interventions are always very insightful, full of knowledge, very instructives, and I always read them with pleasure :)

I think you are confusing "posts" with "threads" ;)
In a forum, everything is sorted by threads by a very good reason. To follow them. Your post is nice, but doesnt have anything to do with this thread, thats what I mean. Open new threads is something anyone can do, if you want to talk about Mariella Fostrup early relationship with MK, you dont need to post anything that comes to your head to the first thread you read, hope you get me ;D

I think you are confusing "posts" with "threads"
No, by threads, I mean "topic"
"post" is a reply to others posts in the same topic, so in the same "thread", or did I miss someting ???
As I said, I think that both ways can fit. To me I find natural to reply in the same topic about somting said in this topic, even if it isn't directly from the main subject. e.g when someone talk about Groucho Marx ina thread not dediacted to Groucho Marx, if I want to share a Groucho's quote, I find a bit strange to start a special thread about Groucho Marx, just to quote a line.
However, you are right : having several threads for each subject is easier to surch by key words, but on the other hand you will have replies to posts that are in other threads :)
well, should I start a new thread to chat about threads ? ;D

As so often with these sorts of disagreements, there is right on both sides.
I have said before that I find these proceedings rather like a conversation between friends in a pub - the conversation goes in all sorts of directions, sometimes at tangents to the main theme, sometimes in anger, sometimes in laughter. It's part of the fun. In this instance, I would never even have thought about that press release, if someone hadn't mentioned Mariella Frostrup's name in this thread.
On the other hand, it can be difficult to follow the main theme of the thread, when some of the postings are off-topic. I do understand that frustration.
"You're right from your side
And I am right from mine
We're both just one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind"
A-Dylan-quote-for-every-occasion dot com
Now let me ask a couple of questions. Was the information I gave about the professional link, in the past, between Mark and Mariella something new to you? And, if so, is it not even the slightest bit interesting that, subsequently, Mark and now Kitty have agreed to be interviewed by her and/or have been on programmes fronted by her? There is no need to post answers here. I have put these questions not because I seek specific answers but, more fundamentally, to encourage thought about what the purpose and function of a forum like this is all about.
For me, it is about finding and "talking" to like-minded people, about mutual enthusiasm, about sharing information, about expressing opinions, about agreeing and disagreeing but respecting differences, about learning "new things" and new perspectives on "old things" - probably many others but those are what come to mind at this early hour.

It saddens me to have to say this, but in the last few months or so, this forum has changed almost out of all recognition from how it began in August 2008. It used to be great fun to post here, with all the friends who moved over from the old forum. Now it is a mere shadow of it's former self and it is sad to see this happen. So many of those people are now missing and I noticed recently that Rollergirl is no longer here at all and I know I will miss her witty and humorous posts very much.
Regarding the off-topic problem. TWM - I know you are well-intentioned, but you do have an uncanny knack of changing threads from whatever they started out as, into a Dylan thread! I know you are first and foremost a Dylan fan, but this is a KNOPFLER forum and sometimes it can be infuriating! For example, even your post above has a quote from Dylan!!!! ::) If I were to go on to ER and divert their threads into Knopfler threads at every opportunity, I would be unceremoniously shown the door! :o
Meanwhile I will take a break. :)

Mark is to blame! ;D There isn't THAT lot to talk about.
You cannot imagine, how busy AMIT is going to be from September to December, when the new album is out. And then it is time for serious "tour talk". So there will be a lot to discuss. And maybe some of our old friends will join us again - if they don't, they get a personal message via AMIT ;).
TWM, I really do appreciate your knowledge and your posts, would it be a good idea to set up a TWM's corner in this neck of the interwebs?

Superval,
Why do you think it has changed? I haven't been around very long, but I too have noticed that many of the people that were very active a year or a year and a half ago (Dusty, Rollergirl, goldenheart, Watermelon Man, fieneke, etc.). Do you feel they have left because new people have taken the forum and the discussions in different directions (I don't mean off topic, but in general), or have they just lost interest? (For me, the interest is periodic.)

Jackal, I think it is that the humour and sense of fun has gone out of the forum these days and everything has become deadly serious. I had been reading the posts on the old forum for a few years before I eventually bought a computer of my own and joined up (I used my husband's previously) and I couldn't wait to share in all the fun everyone was having there! That was six years ago and I never regretted joining, but now I just feel sad at the changes that have happened.
Perhaps we should have a poll for lapsed members and ask them why they have absconded! ;D
I also think that the popularity of Facebook has contributed to the fall in active contributors. I notice the decline in other forums too, btw.

I'm new on this forum (since end august 2011), but I read it since his first days, and I have the same feeling.
The mood has changed, and many historic forumers are absent since many months ; I hope it is not related with me... ;D
I like humour, I would love to put more in my posts, but my english is so bad that I'm afraid it will not be always correctly understood :-[
-
JF, Your English is fine - much better than my French! ;D Just keep posting! ;)

I think there are number of reasons.
1) I think people "move on". With all the offerings on the Internet these days, people try out new stuff all the time. Facebook is of course very hot, but I think people are starting to lose interest there as well. The same goes for Guy's forum. Can't believe how dead it is there compared with eight years ago. Even Guy seems slightly tired of it.
2) New people join that bring new impulses that might change the current structure. Some of the old members like it, some like it less. In that way a forum is continuously evolving.
3) These days there are very few stones that have not been turned in connection with Mark and Dire Straits. Everything and anything is available on the Internet, so the demand for information has kind of flattened or even taken a dive. This means there's not so much to talk about.
I personally like it here, even though there's not much Mark related to discuss now. There are intelligent, fun people here, many of whom share my interest in guitar playing and music, so even though the primary topic has kind of reached a hiatus, this is still a great meeting place, much nicer than Facebook, where it's very far between anything interesting to read. Sadly the older members don't feel it that way.
As for the humor part, that's true. There were more of the shorter, funny comments being made before. It seems now we, yes, myself included, tend to write discourses and long anecdotes. I guess those of us that do could curb that part a bit. I even feel guilty now writing this post ...
-
Thanks Jackal, I think you have hit upon quite a few reasons for the decline and I do think Facebook is one of the main reasons. I read somewhere that it is now considered "uncool" for young people to be members, since their grandparents are also on FB!
We did have some great moments on MK News Forum, with a great bunch of people - Gbobmi, Jacki, Rollergirl, Goldenheart and, of course, Fieneke and her ever-increasing smilies! She was reprimanded many times about the size and number, but she was not to be put off. Eventually the smilies covered half a page and the mods were most certainly not amused! :lol We moved over here soon after that! :)

I agree with you. I joined FB a couple of years ago and was a member for about a year. I think I posted only once in that time and then disentangled myself! I found it to be likened to watching paint dry! So boring! ::)
-
FB is mostly a necessary evil. I'd be happy to ditch it today, but because of family and friends being far away and the fact that I need to check up on a few youngsters who are not behaving well, I need to hang in there. I also have couple of professional reasons to be there, but I could easily to without.
I don't think it will become what Zuckerberg hopes it will be.

Everything pass for different stages, thats life. I remember years ago about a mail talking about the different phases of a mailing list, and it was hilarious, but very realistic as well.

now all of you have continued talkng about other topics, so stop the moaning.
:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol (going fieneke)
the goal of this forum was to be free of any restrictions and mods playing god, i think we do a reaaaaaaaallllly good job at that.
so pls let's move on and not cause unnecesarry friction.
yes fb is to blame, yes mark ain't too active (still, there are those bits and pieces that happen and that we do talk about) but i think a very good reason, as brought forward by jackal is, people move on, i know this myself, i am on quite a few different forums, some more then others, and you just can't focus on all of them all of the time.
on the record, i have not read and will not read any of Kitty's works, except if it somehow is mark related.

LOL! Talk about going off-topic...this isn't a 'thread' anymore..it's a chain with a few links missing ;). As far as TWM's original post is concerned..I don't think it was that far off topic to supply more information about Kitty's interviewer (thanks for that). And to bring the circle to a close..I read "Pop" and enjoyed it. Maybe someday I'll get around to reading "Cryers Hill". Not exactly my cuppa...I'm an Arthur C. Clarke fan myself..but since Arthur left us back in 2008 I'm always looking for new authors. I'm curious as to whether or not Kitty is working on a new book.

This forum is like Get Lucky........................boring as hell (or heaven) :lol

Don't know how appropriate it is to discuss the hotness of another man's wife ;) Anyways, I think she's quite a looker here:

Well, I dont say hot, but pretty. A very nice smile and beautiful eyes.
Lulu is, well, not hot either, but "kind of sexy" ;D
-
Exactly, jbaent! Hot and pretty are two completely different things and when I saw her she seemed to me a lovely person too. :) Oh I agree she has a beautiful smile!
-
To me, hot is like "Victoria's Secret models hot". Kitty is not in that category, but she is, well, was in my opinion, very attractive. There's an air of coolness about her. You might say she's hot in a cool way ;D

At this point, I beg you to go back to very first post and reada again everything that Kitty says about the MK bike accident...
It really shows the love they share, and its a very beautiful and emotive comments.

Guess who once made an advert for Victora's Secret? Here's a snippet:-

There was also a compilation CD, available only at their shops, which contained a remix of the lead track.

There's actually something slightly inappropriate about Dylan doing such a commercial. I mean, the girl can't be a year past 20!

Knock, Knock.....I know this thread is about Kitty, BUT...... I hope you give me permission to say something too! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/Fieneke2/Emoticons/Grinning.gif)
I talk for myself:
When I joined MKnews I met a group of people who not only were fans of Mark and his music, but were friends with each other as well. It was a bunch of helpful, intelligent, nice and above all many funny people who wrote crazy messages! That is why I stayed and participated as well because except for information, I also joined the forum for the fun and having a relaxed and wonderful time! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/Fieneke2/Emoticons/Roflbig.gif)
Although the administrator of MKnews often told us the rules and deleted some of our messages, we had more fun and acted like naughty children. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/Fieneke2/Emoticons/s83.gif). When the rules really became disturbing and we felt we couldn

I don,t post much here(for various reasons) ,but have read and enjoyed it since it started and also the MK news forum for many years previous ,with great contributors on both .
But i think this forum is dying on its feet , it may be time to rename it "A BOB IN TIME " . or combine it as an MK and BD forum . (believe it or not ,there are some MK fans not in the slightest bit interested in BD ) .Mr Dylan is now talked about as much as MK !!! -WHY !!!
I find myself now visiting less and less , compared to almost every day before . And there seems to be others .
It will probably be a busy site in the build up to the new album and possibly the start of the tour ,but once those are over ,this forum sadly will be too .

Excuse moi, but this post is ridiculous.
1. Not happy about the posts here? Register and contribute!
2. Not enough Mark talk here? Register and contribute! You have probably noticed that the source of available info on Mark has been pretty much exhausted, much thanks to the Internet and the rapid dissemination of info. As you said, when news come, the forum will come alive too.
3. The Bob issue is taken care of and the "culprit" has realized that lengthy Bob posts have to go a separate Bob thread under General Discussions. But considering the fact that there is not much Mark stuff to talk about at the moment, is it really a problem?
4. As for your predictions about this forum's death, I think you're wrong. I think there can be less activity for the above-mentioned reasons, but I don't think it will die. One antidote could be to develop the other parts of this website, i.e. to create the most exhaustive MK/DS database on the planet. A lot of info has been floating around in the threads, but the editors should have taken measures to collect the info and build a systematic database with info.
-
I think one of the problems is that not enough people actually post! For instance, there are usually 25 or so people on-line, who could have a contribution to make about this particular subject. Please stop lurking, people, and contribute - give us some input! ;)

if everyone would be as active as myself ( i just realised i posted 10% of all posts, ever...) then it would be bit more diverse and lively, but honestly, i would not want, nor would i be able to read all those posts, there's limits to everyone's spare time.
so yes, gotta agree with jackal here, if you worry about this forum's demise, then post more (all of you :-)
if not, stop moaning (not meant in a bad way, just the other option)

Didn't I just say that, Pottel! :lol

geniusses think alike, you must know that by now my fellow genius :-)

I must admit to being someone who read the forum on the MK News site then moved over here and read this for a while before I actually started to post anything. I thought to myself people won't be interested in anything I have to say and what if I post something stupid then meet them at a concert! :-[
You must also bear in mind that all forums have their ups and downs in terms of activity and interest. This obviously usually varies in direct proportion with tours and album releases.

I remember when I first posted on MKNews forum, actually saying "This is my first post and I am very nervous..." but I needn't have worried, because everyone was so friendly and I loved chatting about MK, etc and still do - given the opportunity! ;D

It's only months since we had loads of people logging in every night to get live setlist updates. There's always a lull when mk isn't actually doing anything.

Hi Dusty! I'm missing YOUR witty posts too btw! ;)

I am guilty of reading this forum daily but not contributing much lately.
I simply don't have that much insight or that many things to say at the moment, but I've been an MK fan for 34 years and love reading what the rest of you have to say.
Thanks to everyone.

I read an interview a while ago with Kitty Aldridge and she revealed the most amazing piece of Knopfler information any fan would want to know. The name of the Knopfler family dog. Anybody like to guess and as a hint the name has been used in one of his songs.

Corey - from Lonnie Donegan's "Darling Corey"

I like to read interviews about Mark and his family and never read this interview about the dog before! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/Fieneke2/Emoticons/Celebrate-s.gif)
