    OK for me the glaring omission in the line up is Nils Lofgren especially considering he guested on Solid Rock at Wembley with Dire Straights.

    He is better than at least 10 of the credited line up. Read his Wikipedia page and tell me I'm not right.

    It is good to see people like him doing stuff for charity.

    Dire Straits star Mark Knopfler's guitars sell for more than £8m at auction





    Guitars and amplifiers belonging to Dire Straits star Mark Knopfler have sold for more than £8m at auction - much higher than had been estimated.

    Knopfler sold more than 120 of his guitars and amps, with 25% of the proceeds going to charity.



    At least a quarter of the proceeds from the auction will be divided equally and donated to the British Red Cross, Tusk, and Brave Hearts of the North East.

    Meanwhile, the Teenage Cancer Trust will receive all of the £403,200 raised from Knopfler's 2021 Gibson Les Paul "gold top" guitar - signed by 33 stars including the late Jeff Beck, Ronnie Wood, Sir Brian May, Sting, Sir Ringo Starr and Bruce Springsteen.

    Auction house Christie's will also donate £50,000 to each of the four charities, it said.
