Thanks for that - will dial in - Assume same format as when Johnson did the earlier shows on his own

Watched the first thirty minutes this morning and it's quite fun; if you can get past the appearance Knopfler seems unable to walk properly anymore...

Who knew Tom Jones was a good chat?

guitars4you · April 25

Agree - Sadly Mark looks in a bad way
Tom was excellent and still has a great voice

Watched the 1st show last night with Tom - Great character with many stories to tell - Watched this show since it started and like Brian - Not so sure why he needed to brink MK into the mix - I like Mark, but to be truthful he brings little to the show - He is just to quite, maybe laid back and/or even dull in such a 'chat' show - Sadly, as mentioned above, he doesn't look to healthy

MK should just come clean about his health and be a voice for others suffering his condition.

I haven't seen the show but heard Knopfler being interviewed on the radio a couple of weeks ago. Nice humble man, but I was taken aback by how "old" he sounded. What condition do you think he has?

Watched part 2 last night with Sam Fender - Without knowing much about him I liked him - Yes I've heard the singles - Seen a few video clips but can hardly say I know about him - Knew he could play and he is currently hot property

He came across very well and interesting - MK put a better shift in this time, compared to the Tom Jones show - 3 Geordies together and the show was good - Next up is Cindi Lauper

I’ve only watched the Cyndi lauper one and I thought what was the point of Brian! Cyndi was really entertaining and had lots of interesting stories and points of view.

Cyndi was interesting but not really me

Just watched Carlos - always been a Carlos fan so right up my street- Today many knock him, find him boring and /or repetitive but you can’t fail to jam over such rhythm- Plus find me another guitar star with so many Grammy’s

The first two thirds were really quite intersting, as I'd no knowldege of his background - well, apart from the "melting speakers" woodstock bit.

But the last third... well... shall we say it was intersting, for a different reason entirely?

I'd say he was the interviewee least dulled by age, but not sure I'd wish to be in a lift with him!

The rumour is Parkinsons. Let’s hope it’s not true…

Howdy, Stranger!
