wateroftyne Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Cheers, all. Unfortunately the gig sold out in about an hour. I probably won't get any comps :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fumps Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 [quote name='Dr.Dave' timestamp='1352489050' post='1863849'] I had a pint with him in a Pontefract pub once and a nicer and more unassuming chap you couldn't wish to meet. Great one for the scrapbook - enjoy. [/quote] ooo which pub ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Brilliant WOT, well deserved, enjoy. To play bass on Local Hero with Mr. Mark would just be an ultimate dream for me. That geezer out of Auf? Preferred Big River Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Thread resurrection for anyone who's interested... I've just got back from a the first band meeting (no MK - he won't get involved until the day of the gig). I know most of folks in the band already, but we have lovely lady backing vocalists and a guitarist (who tours with the Arctic Monkeys) who I've never met before. Very pleasant they are, too. We ran through the running order of the show, which is a logistical spaghetti junction - I'm glad I don't have to concern myself with any of that. There's some other special guests on the show now too - musical and otherwise - but I'm sworn to secrecy. I get to play a wide range of stuff, and on some of the songs we're accompanied by an orchestra, which is a first for me. We're having three days of rehearsals before the gig. They'll be long days, but I can't wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonybassplayer Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Playing bass whilst Mark Knopfler is on the same stage !!!! I wouldn't be able to sleep, what a gig to get I have been predicting for years that Dire Straits could be the next big band for the re-form and world tour type of thing, heres hoping !!
