      Knopfler was born in Glasgow and moved to close to Newcastle when he was 7 years old. His brother was born in Glasgow and was 4 when the family moved to Newcastle. Pick Withers and John Ilsley are from Leicestershire and the band were formed in Deptford in south east London.

    I am impressed with the vocalist in how he seems to match Mark’s energy with the smooth almost bluesy delivery without sounding forced or overly dramatic. I have tried to listen to many covers of this song and rarely made it past the 15 second mark. I loved the vocals and band was spot on. I enjoyed listening to the entire song, very refreshing.
