[Best Brown Baggies]

Blue Plaque

On Thursday 3rd December, Mark and John Illsley will be attending a short ceremony in Deptford, London, to unveil a blue plaque on the site of the first Dire Straits performance back in 1977. The award, presented by PRS for music, is part of a national campaign in the UK to highlight areas where significant musical events have taken place. The plaque will be fixed to Farrer House in Church Street, Deptford and unveiled at 11.30 am.

Wow, that's fantastic. When I was in London in 2003 to see Eric Clapton (MK was supposed to be there but had his accident the week before  ) I remember seeing one of those little blue plaques showing where Benny Hill used to live.

What a shame that Pick and DK aren't there too though.

I think I will visit the place when I am in London for Mark his concert.

That is a great news! These places deserve recognition. I go there every time I visit London. It's like a pilgrimage 

[dustyvalentino]

Never been, although I don't get to London as often as I'd like. Last time was nearly two years ago to see Led Zeppelin and even then I was in and out in under 24 hrs.

That's really good news!      I'd love to be there on the 3rd.

I'm definately going to do a day of MK related sightseeing in London next year for the RAH gigs. The new plaque is a must. Just wish i could be there for the un-veiling. Surely there must be something about it in the local papers nearer the time.
