Stones Story
A few days after seeing Mark Knopfler, Emma and I found ourselves heading to Falkirk Town Hall for something completely different.
Mark Knopfler
I’ve been a fan of Dire Straits for as long as I can remember, so when I noticed Mark Knopfler was bringing his tour to Glasgow, there was never any doubt that I’d be going.
