Knopfler to play at the LG

Dire Straits legend Mark Knopfler has announced details of a solo UK tour, including a gig at the LG Arena at The NEC, Birmingham, on May 23, 2010.

The run of dates will be the singer songwriters first UK tour in two years, and he’s looking forward to hitting the road once again.

“It’s like being captain of a little fighting ship really, and I enjoy the team thing of being on the road, I enjoy being with the crew,” he says.

“I suppose one of the reasons I like it so much is that I know it’s not going to be a year-long thing.”

Knopfler’s new album Get Lucky, is released next week and fans coming to the show can expect to hear tracks from the record, as well as a mix of his solo back catalogue and classic Dire Straits songs

Mark Knopfler as a producer

Infidels (1983) by Bob Dylan. Although Mark renounced the reworked version of the album as launched, his manufactured is still noticeable. Left off the album, but later released on The Bootleg Series, is the critically acclaimed "Blind Willie McTell", featuring only Dylan, singing and playing piano, accompanied by Mark Knopfler on auditory guitar.
Knife (1984) by Aztec Camera, a Scottish indie/new wave group, which was mostly a vehicle for the work of Roddy Frame, much as Dire Straits only ever recorded Mark Knopfler compositions.
Miracle (1987) by Willy DeVille, was dedicated to Mark and his wife 'for their support which was nothing short of a Miracle in a time of Dire Straits.' The album ends with the ballad "Storybook Love", the theme from The Princess Bride movie.
Land of Dreams (1988) by Randy Newman, includes the single "It's Money that Matters" which unabashedly revisits the Dire Straits song "Money for Nothing".
