This from MK News:
"Check out 'Johnnie Walker meets ..... Mark Knopfler', BBC Radio 2, 5 pm 29th December. " :D
Maybe we will find out more about what's happening in the studio. :think I hope to record the programme.

Well I CAN'T WAIT for Mark telling about not having the hart for asking his dad for an amplifier and blowing his family's radio + bonus track — smell of a Fender catalogue.
:lol :lol :lol
Thank you, looking forward to hearing this, I just don't expect much as you can see :lol

He's going to say that Brothers in arms is the DS song he would chose to play if he can play just one, because of those first notes he plays on guitar at the beginning...

We will have some info about this new project at a certain point so why not in a BBC interview :think
Is it live in the studio or recorded earlier?
-
Still nice to think MK is featured on Radio 2 over the Christmas period - thanks Val...
Yes I have been absent from the forum, due to family illnesess but I am back - don't worry I haven't forgotten you all!
Happy Christmas and a Happy new year to you all!!

Mk appeared in some Johnny Walker programs so it might be an old programme or a new one with the same old questions and the same old answers so it really doesn't matter anyway :D

Compliments of the season to one and all!
According to the Radio Times listings, this show was first broadcast in May 2015. I must have missed it then, so although there will probably be nothing that we do not already know it will be interesting to hear the 2015 versions of the familiar stories.

Happy Christmas to you, too! Great to see you back at a place that is able to an island of Joy and Happiness within all the hard times and anger!
Your posts have been missed.

Apparently it a repeat of a show broadcast May 2015.
Just listened to the first show of the week, Johnnie Walker meets Phil Collins. That was interesting and varied.
Johnnie Walker is a great DJ and someone who has interviewed Mark many times before. He is interesting and relaxed and gets Mark to talk about lots of things. It seems MK is comfortable with him so should be a good programme.
But alas as it's a repeat there'll be no breaking news about his mystery new project...

Thank you for this link. After a hard day at work taking inventory, it was nice to hear MK talking, although he sounded weak and weary with a lot of unpleasing mouth and tongue sounds... maybe he had caught a cold or something?
I loved the Wales gig story. And which version of Sultans was played again?

Sultans was from the Honky Tonk Demos, LE. I recorded this programme the first time around and thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved the bit about Wales too, especially MK's Welsh accent and him imitating the way they said "encore"! ;D

Great interview in my opinion, missed the first airing. Is there a simple way to download/convert this stream so it can be saved before it is removed from the site?

MK, look into a little program called get_iplayer. Excellent for grabbing bits and bobs from iplayer and bbc radio.
-
Thanks for the tip! Will give it a try this week.

Very nice indeed, many thanks !!
Just thought that if BIA is his favourite DS song...Why the hell didn't he played his great renewed version more often in 2015 ? I missed it !

I'd say it was the alternative Sultans recorded specially for the single. The honky tonk demos version doesn't sound so clear and well produced...

Indeed. I know he said he "enjoys" performing R&J but I suppose that's a different thing.
Great version of BIA from Hannover 2015 I listened to only yesterday if you want to check it out. :thumbsup

I thought you hated the playing in 2015 ? ;)
As for me I think 2015 was very good for DS songs... Sax back in R&J, renewed energy in Sultan's, intro back in BIA, TR a bit short and slower but clear and enjoyable, new YLT and OES...
I have Barcelona for.BIA, which I love. Is Hannover better ?

Sultans is listed below the programme as :
Sultans of Swing (Charlie Gillett Session)
The Honky Tonk Demos EP

I have a LQ version here in 2 parts, until a better version is uploaded someplace... :wave

Oh... Listening to it I was sure it was the single version because of how well produced it was, but if the BBC site says that... I remember the Honky Tonk version as more rough, more amateur... The single version sound produced with more care...
-
I thought it was Honky Tonk Demo version... Sounded crappy!
Hard to believe something so shitty sounding started a bidding war.

The BBC uses top notch professional equipment so it is not uncommon for tracks to sound "better than" (or, perhaps, different from?) the same tracks played on domestic equipment, however good.
Just out of interest, BBC Radio 4 recently had Bruce Springsteen on its long-running (very long-running) series DESERT ISLAND DISCS. That was broadcast as a 45-minute programme, which is the norm, but, on the BBC website, it is there in an expanded version lasting about 1 hour:-

On the DAB notes during the broadcast Sultans was noted as from 27th July 1977, Greenwich.

I think that´s the date of the demo tapes recording, but it was made in Islington (Pathway Studios), not in Greenwich (Wood Wharf Studios. where they used to rehearse from 1977 to 1985, the one they can be seen rehearsing in the Arena 80 documentary).

Also the demo tapes had been "remastered" for the Honky Tonk Demos double 7" released two years ago, so it would sound better than the one in the original Honky Tonk Demos lp and cd released long ago by Charlie Gillett in his own label.
