What a weekend, it was brilliant. I went to see Mark Knopfler at the SEC on Sunday night. He will always be a favourite of mine. The band were superb all eleven of them, no synthetic or tracked backing and a really good set comprising old favourites and some new or old folky stuff. He did the Robert Plant and Alison Krause song Sailing to Philadelphia. I didn’t expect that, nor did I expect to be one of the youngest there, the average age looked to be about seventy, I may be wrong, I’m sixty nine. The downside was sitting on hard seats for a couple of hours and the lack of nubile totty. G
