If you like Dire Straits or Mark Knopfler you may have seen this live performance of Sultans of Swing at The Alchemy but if not it is, for me at least, a phenomenal performance making all the other versions I've seen or heard over the years seem ordinary.

It might put a smile on one or two faces, but it does show how unreliable AI generated content can be as the piano in it seems to be missing parts at odd times

The last of the Walker Brothers Gary Walker (Leeds) left us on Sunday March 1st.

Playing this now is so different from my recollection of years ago on a transistor radio.
Piped through a decent stereo now.

Stay away from this one Mick!

I'm pretty sure I could never master the right hand of this, never mind the left hand!!
