    Mark Knopfler’s new special recording of his anthemic ‘Going Home (Theme From Local Hero)’, produced by his longtime collaborator Guy Fletcher (who has edited the contributions into a 9 minute piece), features an unprecedented line-up of some of the greatest guitarists in history. ‘Legendary’ does not begin to cover it - David Gilmour to Ronnie Wood, Slash to Eric Clapton, Sting to Joan Armatrading, Bruce Springsteen to Pete Townshend, Nile Rodgers to Joan Jett, Brian May to Tony Iommi, Joe Walsh, Sam Fender and many more jaw dropping names.
    And, in a great honour, the track opens with Jeff Beck’s final recording.
    Roger Daltrey, Teenage Cancer Trust’s Honorary Patron and co-founder of Teen Cancer America (with Pete Townshend), added harmonica, and Beatles icon Ringo Starr is on drums along with his son Zak Starkey, their two drum tracks switching from one to the other, revealing an unmistakable family style. Sting completes an extraordinary rhythm section on bass.
    With artwork designed by Sir Peter Blake (The Beatles, The Who, Band Aid, Paul Weller etc), this release is a landmark in rock music history.
    Full list of contributors:
    Joan Armatrading, Jeff Beck, Richard Bennett, Joe Bonamassa, Joe Brown, James Burton, Jonathan Cain, Paul Carrack, Eric Clapton, Ry Cooder, Jim Cox, Steve Cropper, Sheryl Crow, Danny Cummings, Roger Daltrey, Duane Eddy, Sam Fender, Guy Fletcher, Peter Frampton, Audley Freed, Vince Gill, David Gilmour, Buddy Guy, Keiji Haino, Tony Iommi, Joan Jett, John Jorgenson, Mark Knopfler, Sonny Landreth, Albert Lee, Greg Leisz, Alex Lifeson, Steve Lukather, Phil Manzanera, Dave Mason, Hank Marvin, Brian May, Robbie McIntosh, John McLaughlin, Tom Morello, Rick Nielsen, Orianthi, Brad Paisley, Nile Rodgers, Mike Rutherford, Joe Satriani, John Sebastian, Connor Selby, Slash, Bruce Springsteen, Ringo Starr and Zak Starkey, Sting, Andy Taylor, Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, Ian Thomas, Pete Townshend, Keith Urban, Steve Vai, Waddy Wachtel, Joe Louis Walker, Joe Walsh, Ronnie Wood, Glenn Worf, Zucchero.

    Cancer kills more teenagers and young adults in the UK than any other disease.
    For those who survive, going through it without the right support can be devastating - physically and emotionally.
    Cancer is different when you are younger: It can be harder to get a diagnosis, cancer treatments can be less effective for young people, and accessing clinical trials can be harder.
    Teenage Cancer Trust funds specialist nurses and youth workers to be there for a young person when cancer has turned their world upside down and to help make sure cancer doesn’t rob young people of the best years of their life.

      Mark Knopfler ist solo auch Dire Straits, Guy Fletcher ist seit fast den Anfängen dabei, glaube ab Telegraph Road CD Musik und Text ist immer von Mark aber Guy macht den guten Sound untermalt das ganze ohne sich in den Vordergrund zu drängen, und am Keyboard, usw ist Er einfach unfassbar gut, aber es sind auch gute Freunde und das alles macht die gute Combi aus, so wie die ganzen Gitarristen hier auf der CD Freunde sind, Zb Eric Clapton, Sting, Paul Carrack, Mike Rutherford, Slash, Sunny L. usw, und das machen sie auch weil Sie Knopfler lieben, Er war immer ein guter Mensch und Freund für die alle!!

    I'm 53 now. Heard it as a teen way back in 1985 Bombay-India. Instantly fell in love with it as watched it 1st time on The Wembly Live concert (on VHS). Watched it everyday for about a month. Still recall MK & his hero Hank Marvin. Their guitars talking back & forth (the intro). Post Dire Straits Mark has been & continues to be my Poet-Story telling songwriter & guitarist. Thank You Mark-Guy Fletcher. God bless you.

    Congratulations to all involved. Poignant to hear Jeff Becks perfect introduction to the piece, said to be his last recording. But it's probably wrong to mention any individuals when it's a team effort. For those wanting a video, I don't think it will happen as it took 2 years of gradually added individual contributions to slowly construct this wall of sound. Maybe the best video would simply be to revisit the wonderful movie for which this is the theme.

The entire El Molinón stadium humming oe, oe, oe and Mark Knopfler following us with his guitar... Apotheosis of music!! I still get emotional remembering that night. The best.
