Thanks a lot for the article, Robson! Haven't seen it before.  :thumbsup

It's not an article but the back cover of the Honky Tonk cd:

https://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Honky-Tonk-Demos/release/1322676

Click on more images under the cover picture, and you will see it in the upper right corner.

This other version has more interesting pictures, but they are not available on discogs. It has for example a picture of the demo tape in the booklet:

You might get lucky, now and then

The Knopfler Bros. I don't think I have ever seen that billing before.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

Most likely around that time - certainly the Brewers Droop years..

More.......
Throughout 1973, The Droop continued to record a proposed second album while undergoing various line-up changes. Pick Withers took over on drums for a short spell before Walker returned. Shortly thereafter, Timms left and was replaced by new bassist Steve Nachi.
Around the same time, Mark Knopfler was recruited as the group's primary guitarist, allowing Mackay to come to the fore more as a co-lead vocalist with Watts. Knopfler split his time between teaching part-time, and playing with the band.

Hope that helps...

He's there 'high lighted' in big print! ;)

Of note Steve Darrington who played with MK in Brewers Droop now organises a Blues Festival here in Dorset a stones throw away from me...
