When that asian news reader on Channel 4 called Gitta Hari comes on it always makes me thing of guitar George who knows all the chords.

Although they get a good slagging now, Dire Straits were certainly a great band for the first 4-5 years and "Sultans Of Swing" sounded like something from a different planet when I first heard it in 1978...put it this way, I first saw them on OGWT while we were at the caravan in Ullswater and I got me Dad to pull into Barnard Castle Woolies to buy the 45 on the way home the next day.

My favourite though is the song "Lady Writer"..it's the thinking-mans Sultans Of Swing...same tune, same beat, chord changes switched around a bit but with a better solo!

I remember seeing them at the Kirklevington Country Club a year or so before Sultans was released.

And the Tunnel of Love always makes me chuckle:

1. For its tradesman's entrance conertation.

2. And when Knopfler says "Spanish Shitty" instead of "Spanish City" rolfl

I've got a cd of them live at the BBC around 1978 - brilliant album
