In a coming together of two of the greatest living songwriters, Mark Knopfler and his band will be joining Bob Dylan for a series of shows around England in autumn 2011.

Both artists will be taking a coterie of their own musicians and as usual Mark has assembled a group of players who are the best in their field.

The band will consist of Richard Bennett on guitar, Guy Fletcher on keyboards, Jim Cox on piano, John McCusker on violin & cittern, Mike McGoldrick on flute, whistle & pipes, Glenn Worf on bass and Ian Thomas on drums.
 
“I'm much looking forward to going out on the road with Bob in such a special year,” said Mark. “It was an honour to be asked to record one of Bob's songs on the forthcoming Amnesty International 50th anniversary album to mark his 70th birthday”
