Title: Mark Knopfler Dave Gilmour??

 ??? ::) A response to one of our AMIT TV videos has raised the possibility of Knopfler & Gilmour playing together?
I hope it is not just someone pulling our leg.

It was this video:-

Where they play together as guest on the French & Saunders show.

And this was the users response:- "Very true, Watch this space as you may soon see them both playing together..Mums the word now!!!"

So we will wait and see what eventuates..... :think  :think  :think Be nice it was genuine!! Album? Live Aid thing? TV?

Drugs Guru replied? Any chances it's a Marks personal youtube channel? :D

As for topic, Gilmour played even with Paul McCartney, so why not to play with MK?

"Why not MK?"
Because Mark shuns any 'guitar hero' status & image, which I presume is the reason he rejects performing at Crossroads shows too, even for charity.

Two of my guitar heroes recording together! That would be something beautiful.
Of course the best thing would be for me to have a recording session with both or just MK. Just like this man:

And on that basis why not MK with Lemmy   :disbelief

Afraid I think this is a wind up. That sketch was from 1990. Surely if they were going to do something together as a result of that appearance, they would have done it by now?
Unless someone is planning a 25th anniversary reunion in 2015  :)

FB, we can hope at least?  :)  And Lemmy would be fine as well, I just can't see any common ground. Pity about Gary Moore though, passed away too young.

Love AMIT - so educating for those of us who are neither musicians nor probably even very learned 'listeners' though this one is learned enough to appreciate a genius when she hears one!
MK with Clive James is a wonderful primer in both his magic & nice-guy-ness, and the possibilities of the studio. Many thanks for posting.
