Roughly 30 pounds for attending a karaoke show where only one, ok, two musicians were closely related to DS ... Did you guys watch the YouTube videos from Australia where they performed the Brothers in Arms album in concert? Wasn't exactly amazing ...

I am actually also laughing a bit when thinking about the charity - giving the disabled a chance to ... play cricket! Of all things. You have to be born and bred in the Commonwealth to get that.

A website featuring news items copied directly from the Dire Fakes website - how bizarre  :).  I believe Terence is no longer with these chaps, they now have someone called Benjamin Brown.

No way MK will be there, GF must surely be unlikley as a close confidant of MK.

Special guests could be Jack Sonni, John Illsley.

No offence to Clark, White and Palmer, but I find it extremely unlikely that they will be able to fill the Albert Hall, even for a good cause.

Don't be surprised if this hig is cancelled due to "unforseen circumstances", ie dismal ticket sales.

I wonder if the prospect of unspecified 'special guests' might tempt enough people for them to achieve respectable sales, especially if there were to be speculation that MK might join them (even if only for a song or two).

I really doubt it. It's for a good cause and I hope it is a big success but I really don't think there is enough interest for a band that does not even contain one founding member o Dire Straits.

Happy to be proved wrong though. :)
