Mark Knopfler was born in Glasgow the 12th of August 1949. His mother was a British teacher and his father a Jewish Hungarian architect who went into exile in Great-Britain in order to flee Nazism. Soon the family moved to Newcastle where Mark and his young brother David grew up. Encouraged by his parents, Mark built a passion for music and filled his dreams with guitars. As a teenager he reached the South of England and played in local bands during his journalism studies.

After graduating Mark left for Leeds to work as a reporter for the Yorkshire Evening Post.MK At this time he met the blues guitarist Steve Phillips. They played a lot together after discovering their common musical tastes. They were appearing for a while under the name Duolian String Pickers. It might have been at this time that Mark, natural left-hander playing right-handed, began to develop his own style based on finger picking he learned with Steve. After two years as a journalist Mark went back to his studies in literature. He played in different bands and went to London to find a job. There he passed an audition with the band Brewers Droop. But at this time Mark was in a fix with no money, a divorce and a band that was not as fulfilling as he would. Eventually, he made up his mind to take a lecturer position at the University of Essex.

In the mid 70’s David Knopfler was also on his way to London after he quitted his studies. He stayed some days at Mark’s and the two brothers spent there entire nights to play the guitar. At the time when David settled in London, Mark played in a band that was somehow successful in the local pubs: the Café Racers. David was sharing his flat with John Illsley, a bass player from Leicester who was quickly introduced to Mark. One night John came on stage with the Café Racers. That was the starting point of his long musical association with Mark, who decided to move in with David and John for them to build their own band.

As far back as summer 1977 the band began to rehearse a lot of songs composed by Mark. Pick Withers, an acquaintance of Mark, came to join them on the drums. At first they used Mark’s former band’s name – Café Racers – when a friend of Pick suggested they name the band Dire Straits because of their deplorable financial situation. At that time their concerts brought nothing in and were played in front of a quasi non-existent audience. So they gambled everything and quit their jobs to devote themselves to music.
