Im going to try to meet him with my friend tonight hopefully ge his autograph wish me luck.

Good luck! Knopfler is awesome!

Tell him we all said hello and be sure to ask when Dire Straits is getting back together because we all need to hear a follow up to "On Every Street."

I think Knopfler's solo CDs are uniformly good but the last one left me a little cold. Not enough guitar!

BTW - I hardly ever see any mention of the Mark Knopfler signature strat here - is it any good?

Hi rock god: I'm told that MK can sometimes be in a very nice friendly mood - and sometimes the exact opposite. I hope you get him on a good day! Good luck...


Hi Unadan: several Forum users own that model and so far I've never heard anything bad about it. A nicely spec'd Strat, to be sure.

Cheers - C

Thats great! best of luck.

If all goes well should be something to remember, bring a camera. Personally I would take a picture over an autograph any day of the week.

Ceri funny you should say that ,greatness aside he never struck me as a jolly laugh a minute guy, neither does Sting.

'Zactly! Ask Knopfler's brother why he left the band. Man, that sounded like a rough ride.

And for that matter, ask Stewart Copeland why The Police ended. For example, he said Sting brough a switch blade to the final recording sessions and was throwing it across the room in an aggressive way that could have had someone's eye out. Sting said later: "Mmm - yes, maybe I was a little difficult to be around..."

And what about Van Morrison? Wow: not a barrel of laughs...
