He forgot to mention that they are neighboors  ;D

John owns a pub very close to where he lives (also very close to his Hotel "The George" in the Isle of Man) and where Mk has his country house

Julio, I think The George Hotel is on The Isle of Wight, not IOM.   :)

kay, honestly, i find that you lost the chance to go more in depth, i mean, how many chances will one of us ever get to interview a ds member? there is no "newness" here.
don't get me wrong, i am thankful for the interview and the effort, just slightly disappointed by the content. pls no hard feelings, just my 2cents.

Pottel: I agree with you. Could have been much better but I got so excited about this. I have tried before to get in touch with John but he has never answered me. But suddenly this time he did and I got so excited that my questions got bad....

John could also have been answering the questions better himself but this is what he wrote.

I have done a interview with David Knopfler as well some years ago. You can read that one plus others by clicking here: http://www.mark-knopfler-fanklubb.net/index.php?name=seksjon%2FIntervju.html&view=view

Never seen that. These interviews are very interesting in parts. A good read. Well done :)

Well, what would I ask John Illsley that I didn
