Mark Knopfler Discussion Forum / Re: BBC interview: Mark talks about relationship with David
« Last post by vgonis on Today at 04:13:56 pm »Unfortunately I am nt in the UK and BBC does not allow me to listen to it. However, the last but one Uncut issue had an interview with MK and the reporter asked many times for his relation with David, directly and indirectly, only to receive one word answers or a:"not this question again" answer. I wonder if it is a similar situation with this interview and why they are so eager to learn or confirm what they already know. This has little to do with music.

Mark Knopfler Discussion Forum / BBC interview: Mark talks about relationship with David
« Last post by Angelucci on Today at 03:53:36 pm »Hi there.
Apologies if this has been posted already, I did a search and couldn't find it, but has everyone seen this interview with Mark on BBC's HardTalk? It's the first time I've ever known a journalist ask Mark about his relationship with David and the first time I've heard him talk about it.

Down The Road Wherever EU & NA tour / Re: Suggestion: How about making a setlist prediction game for the tour?
« Last post by vr46mk on Today at 01:18:54 pm »So after some quick thoughts I came up with one setlist that should get a few songs in the right order.
My guess for the setlist:
1. Trapper man
2. Corned beef city
3. Privateering
4. Back on the dance floor.
5. Father and son / HFB
6. Slow Learner
7. One Song At A Time
8. Romeo and Juliet
9. Sultans of swing
10. Band Intro
11. Postcards From Paraguay
12. Speedway At Nazareth
13. Marbletown
14. So far away
15. Matchstick Man
16. Piper To The End
Play these and I'll be very happy

Down The Road Wherever EU & NA tour / Suggestion: How about making a setlist prediction game for the tour?
« Last post by boriszhukov on Today at 12:34:01 pm »I was thinking it would be fun to do something similar to the Dylan Pool. Since Mark doesn't change the setlists so much. It could rahter be that we guess before the toru starts. The setlist for the first concert and maybe for instance the setlist of the last european date.
1 point for correct guess. 2 points for correct song and placement in the setlist.
Any good suggestions for making this in a fun and simple way?

Mark Knopfler Discussion Forum / Re: Question on behalf of markknopfler.com 2
« Last post by jbaent on Today at 10:52:56 am »Happy to be here. I will keep an eye on this thread for any questions.
Hello Kevin
During the last MK tour in 2015, two concerts at the Royal Albert Hall were announced during January to happen in May 2015. We are expecting this might happen again, and if it happens, I think that it could be a good chance to try some of the observations we made in this and the other thread.
One of them would be, if that concerts happens and are announced soon, that the Fair Admission could have an option to choose between "arena tickets" and "stalls tickets" as it is possible to do during the direct pre-sale. Fans who use fair admission have clear which kind of tickets would like to try, and it might be annoying that a fan who wants stalls ends with arena tickets, or the contrary, because the option wasn't given in advance.
Best regards.

Down The Road Wherever / Re: Struck Out Again!
« Last post by vr46mk on Today at 10:15:04 am »Have the following been discussed? :
If you select one show that you want 2 tickets for, do you have better chance to be assigned with tickets, rather than selecting 5 shows with 2 tickets?
Don't know but this came to my mind. I only selected one show and got front row. Since it's all about fairness according to them, could selecting multiple shows decrease your chances of getting tickets?
It's a little OT i know but it's still regarding the FA
