História

Mark Freuder Knopfler, nascido em Glasgow em 12 de Agosto de 1949, é um guitarrista, cantor e compositor britânico da banda de rock Dire Straits. Considerado por muitos um gênio da guitarra, é bastante conhecido principalmente pelo seu estilo peculiar de tocar o instrumento. É mais reconhecido pelo seu trabalho com a banda Dire Straits, que liderou de 1977 até 1994, do que pela sua carreira solo, embora continue a dar concertos por todo o mundo e esgote consecutivamente salas de espetáculos históricas como o Royal Albert Hall, de Londres. Paralelamente, lançou álbuns solo. O seu primeiro foi Golden Heart, de 1996. Porém, poucas cópias dele em CD foram produzidas, sendo, hoje, raríssimas. Escreveu também algumas trilhas sonoras e teve ainda uma outra banda, chamada The Notting Hillbillies. Participou também no trabalho de outros artistas, como Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton e B. B. King, e produziu álbuns para Tina Turner, Randy Newman e, novamente, Dylan. Ao longo da sua carreira, fez mais de quatrocentos concertos em mais de trinta países. Mark é considerado um dos melhores guitarristas e compositores de todos os tempos. Apesar de canhoto, ele toca como destro e de uma forma totalmente inovadora: Com a combinação principalmente do polegar, do indicador e do dedo médio, sem o uso de palhetas. Foi considerado o 44º melhor guitarrista de todos os tempos pela revista norte-americana Rolling Stone.

Silver Clef Award Winners Show, Knebworth Park
The Silver Clef fundraising committee was founded in 1976 by musicians and managers from across the British music industry, who wanted to honour and award music artists whilst raising funds for Nordoff Robbins. The event went on to become the annual Silver Clef Awards and Lunch, an important date in the social and business calendar of the music industry, with even members of the Royal Family attending as guests of honour. The lunch is also the flagship event in the highly respected and well-known diary of fundraising events put on by Nordoff Robbins. The Silver Clef initiative eventually expanded to the USA, where members of the music community there arranged the first American Silver Clef Award Dinner and Auction in 1989. The funds from that event benefited the Nordoff Robbins Centre for Music Therapy based at New York University. In 1990 a concert was devised to raise money for the Nordorff Robbins music therapy centre, it was held at Knebworth park on the 30th June 1990.

Dire Straits: Thank You Australia and New Zealand
Himself - Guitar, Vocals
In 1985, Dire Straits embarked on a world tour of unprecedented proportions. Promoting their hit album Brothers in Arms, the tour included a thirteen-night residence at Wembley Arena (featuring Eric Clapton helping out) and a brief jaunt at Live Aid (featuring Sting), before winding up in Australia in the Spring of 86. They ended with a 21-night stand at Sydney's Entertainment Center, packing the place every night, and wrapping it all up with one final show on April 26th. Featuring the one-off calypso version of "So Far Away" and an impromtu version of the Australian folk anthem "Walktzing Matilda" (with the whole stadium providing the vocals), it is truly a show for the ages. This show represents a band at their very finest, a band that has perfected the art of transitioning from structured verse/chorus parts to solos and back, bringing the audience along on an emotional and gorgeous journey for each and every song.

Dire Straits: Live at Rockpalast
Himself
A classic early live show from Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits, performed in Germany in 1979. This release captures the original band in their first brush of international success - Mark and Dave Knopfler on lead and rhythm guitars, John Illsley on bass, Pick Withers on drums. For all its newfound success, Dire Straits here puts on a carefully polished, musically serious show, full of the nuance and intelligence that characterized the band s memorable career in Rock. A very young Mark Knopfler is of course front and center, with his trademark Dylan-influenced vocals, seductive guitar playing, and dark and thoughtful songs. Those songs include beloved numbers from their breakout self-titled debut album ('Sultans Of Swing', Down To The Waterline, Six Blade Knife and others) as well as a batch of tracks from their forthcoming sophomore album including Lady Writer and Once Upon A Time In The West. 16 tracks. Immortal.
