The deeper I seem to look into MK and 'Brewers Droop' the more interesting it gets!

Love this quote:

Brewers Droop -
'at an audition in the Nags Head, High Wycombe, Mark Knopfler auditioned with a red guitar, a flat hat, and joined the band'

More:

Knopfler and Withers (who had not actually been in The Droop at the same time) went on to great success in the band Dire Straits.

As perhaps a bit of an in-joke, the Dire Straits song "Industrial Disease" (which Knopfler wrote and sang, and Withers drummed on) mentions "Brewer's Droop" in the context of a diagnosed malady, alongside smoker's cough.

It is a pity that there are no videos from this period.

I expect there has been a thread on Brewers Droop, but it's been interesting researching!
