Happy birthday Mark! Watching the latest EC YouTube clips, I think he did look better last year but has time enough to lose some weight before tour starts!!  ;D ;D  Mark, you are allowed to interrupt your daily listening sessions to the new stuff and have a little party today. But not too much, we want that new album better sooner than later.. Hope for comping/mixing sessions in September and announcing a release date as soon as possible.. .
ah yes, have a nice one!! All the best!!  :D

Happy Birthday Mark  :D
Your music has filled my life and brought me much joy since the first time I heard Sultans of Swing play on the radio.  Thank you for continuing to create and play such gorgeous, moving and meaningful songs.  Wishing you happiness today -- and everyday.
With much love,
Lis

Has anyone heard today's radio program on hr2-culture in the occasion of MKs 65th Birthday? The presenter spoke with Peter Kemper about Mark Knopfler, his beginnings, his work, his philosophy of life and much more. Kemper is among others a Music critic, rock historian and Mark Knopfler expert and he had accompanied Knopfler for 2 days in the 1980s and conducted several interviews with him.

I think, it was a very nice talk about Mark Knopfler.

I've recorded the talk. If anyone is interested in the MP3 file, please let me know. Via PM or via my Website-Link (Kontakt).

Here is an information related to the radio broadcast on hr2-kultur yesterday. This talk can be heard now and it can be downloaded. But without MKs music. Only the talk.

Wow!  Never thought I'd see that side of him.  He should come on stage like that!  Hmm...maybe not.  :think

the radio show was very interesting. (never knew the sultans cafe was the "swan" pub in greenwich) but for non-german speaking fans this is not a relevant show as it is all in german.
thnx bluebird!

Ooohhh look at me! How could I forget Mark's birthday! ......Stupid, stupid, stupid me!  :smack

Every day he is giving me a lot of joy when I listen to his beautiful voice and music and look what happened now!  :o ;D

Well I always say better too late then not at all, so I also wish our dear Mark a (belated) HAPPY BIRTHDAY and hope he had a wonderful day with his family!
Of course I wish him also a lot of luck, happiness, a lot of inspiration for many more beautiful songs and most important a good health!

Thank you Bluebird for posting the link of the interview. I live in the Netherlands nearby the German border and was able to listen to the conversation and liked what I heard!  ;D

Yontwocrows thank you for posting the link of the Swan pub!  :thumbsup It sure doesn't look good there. It is a pity if they will demolish the building where Mark got his inspiration for his song!
