Hey, thank you for that! Really appreciated!

Btw, does anybody know what Tomas Molin is up to these days? Or is he even hanging around here with another nickname? Surely, nobody would utter it
here I understand...

It's from an interview from "Record Collector" magazine, around 93 or 94 I think, right in the middle of the Golden Heart sessions. I do have it but I would need to dig it out of the loft and scan, maybe somebody could do it before me (Val? ). MK tells how he has three bands together, one in Nashville, one in Ireland and one in Britain with Nick Lowe, Carrack etc because he wrote a song about shipbuilding (which we can now assume to be My Claim To Fame) and it wouldn't have been right to have US musicians playing on it.

Cant find that interview in Toma

Sorry, dusty, I can't help with that!

wonder what song this is:
 Then I cut a song that didn't get on the rocord with Nick Lowe and Paul Carrack, my little English Group.

LoveEx, I've wondered for a long time what happened to Tomas Molin, too. When TR went down the first time, he finally answered an email that I sent him asking if he was OK, and he said he was, that the trouble was with the server or something. Then both seemed to disappear.
His page wasn't updated for a very long time, so I haven't looked at it for a year or so at least.

The last thing I remember from him was that he wrote somewhere that he fell asleep during the first listen of Shangri-La...  Maybe he just dislikes the route and style that Marks music took and left.

Thomas kept an amazing website for ages, its good to go through and read it even now.  It was full of so much detail.

One of the questions I always had about the Golden demos tape is who plays the keyboards and the mandolin / second guitar?

Its clear that Nick Lowe plays the bass, Bobby Irwin plays the drums, but what plays Paul Carrack and who plays the other instrument (keyboards / mandolin)?

[ds1984]

Paul Carrack is a keyboard player but not only

see wiki entry : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Carrack

Would be curious to be able to attend Mark on stage with that core band.

[dustyvalentino]

Yeah, I wonder who plays that fantastic mandolin on No Wonder He's Confused. What a great track.

The Power Station studio is hushed; there is a barely audible footfall, then Dylan strikes a single piano key. It is a quiet but stark call to musical order. Mark Knopfler softly, exquisitely picks an acoustic guitar in the background, then joins in; Bob Dylan hits a quick pair of somber E- flat minor chords, sketches two measures of melody, and begins to sing, wearily:
