Mark Knopfler donates £1k to youth film company
Posted on Friday 19 April 2013 Music, Arts, Entertainment, North Tyneside

In November 2012, ACT 2 CAM, the youth film company based in North Shields, sent a letter to Mark Knopfler - lead guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter for the British rock band Dire Straits.

ACT 2 CAM member Mairona McGarvie (12) from Wallsend said, “We sent Mr Knopfler a letter last year telling him all about our film and forgot all about it. Then
a letter arrived with a cheque for £1000!” . . .

Hi, Knopfling. I think this was great of Mark to help these kids. I would guess the idea was to provide some seed money to encourage others to also donate - it becomes a much larger base of support within the community that way. I'm sure we all know that the best projects like this have wide-spread support, and how better to get it than to get a bunch of people or businesses to make donations? !

Bravo, Mark :waytogo:

Mark proves yet again what a nice and genuine man he is :) It's a fantastic gesture to help these kids with their film. And It's also great they like Tunnel of Love :rockon:
