a) Jools Holland introduces a studio session from Dire Straits lead singer Mark Knopfler, featuring songs from his debut solo album 'Golden Heart', plus hits like 'Sultans of Swing'

=

b) They are airing the documentary twice in three hours and following it with the 1996 Jools Holland Later Special programme. They will then be repeating A Life In Songs three more times over the course of the weekend.

=

c) A Night in London?

A very good night indeed, we are also fans of Transatlantic Sessions  too.  We've also booked tickets to see TAS in Birmingham on Sunday night, on their way from Glasgow to London.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/xz0zx/ but iPlayer is not available for non UK web users. Just found a good comment (Facebook) with link to BBC 4 free online streaming http://www.livestream.com/bbcfour . Is it streaming in real time?

Hi knopflerfan,   Yes, it's a shame, but the programme is only 70 mins long and SOS would take up too much of the programme.  I would happily sacrifice a couple of the other songs to make room for it though!   I just don't understand why they said that it would be played!    That's just typical of the BBC!   Maybe they will alter the playlist - fingers crossed!   ;)

Hello superval, I agree with you and I would quite happily 'drop a couple' in favour of SOS but I don't think it's going to happen but you never know?!! I shall personally look forward to whatever IS played though!!

From the RADIO TIMES 22-28 January

MARK KNOPFLER: A LIFE IN SONGS
9.00pm BBC4

MUSIC This agreeably laid-back biography charts the rise of the Dire Straits frontman, from Tyneside teen guitar obsessive to unit-shifting stadium sultan.   The tale is told mostly in the words of the level-headed and unassuming man himself, now in his sixties, as footage of the big-hair-and-headband era is woven with clips of his recent folk-rock collaborations.

Knopfler's days as a sensitive soundtrack scribe (Local Hero, Cal, The Prciess Bride) are sadly under-explored, but where the programme really scores is in the off-the-cuff, front room performances and charmingly prosaic stories about the origins of songs and riffs ("I fiddle about with the amp").

How the master guitarist developed his distinctive growling vocals is never answered, although the confession "Bob Dylan changed it all for me" may have a bearing.
