Wow. Thanks for this info. It's good of Mark to help out. I just hope the person interviewing him asks some good questions about his solo career and not just the same old Dire Straits questions. Maybe we should try contacting them?

It sounds like it would be worth a try. Since you are our main man and "Johnny on the spot," I think you are elected! You could represent yourself as spokesperson for one of Mark's several fan clubs, and make sure the interviewer knows that Mark's solo career is of longer duration than Dire Straits was in existence.

Good luck! :waytogo:

She also needs to know NOT to ask the age-old question "Will there ever be a Dire Straits reunion?" . DOH!! :P

As it turns out..Nigel Hitchock is going to be in BG in September recording his new album..so Mark could be asked about his involvement with the recording.

Here is a link to a review of that Bridport Arts Center event:
Bridport Arts Center

I thought it was nice to see they gave Mark some ink, although they didn't actually get into what was said, except for a reference to his songs being like children that you allow to go free after you raise them.

Seems like it was a good evening. I did e-mail them about asking a question, but I got no reply, not even to say no :mellow:
