[glow=red,2,300]The Notting Hillbillies [/glow]The Notting Hillbillies The Notting Hillbillies was a country project formed by Dire Straits’ singer / guitarist Mark Knopfler with Brendan Croker, Steve Phillips, and Guy Fletcher. They made just one album, Missing...Presumed Having a Good Time that was released in 1990, before returning to concentrate on their main bands. The Notting Hillbillies have been reunited several times for charity gigs. In May 1997 the Hillbillies went on a 11 show tour in UK. In 1993, only two shows were performed, both without Guy Fletcher. The Town & Country Club in Leeds on July 3 only featured the Knopfler-Croker-Philips trio. The setlist included the only known live performances of two Dire Straits songs : "Ticket To Heaven" and "How Long". The Notting Hillbillies had previously performed in 1990 "When It Comes To You" before it was actually recorded and issued by Dire Straits on the On Every Street album in 1991. The City Hall in Newcastle on July 6 featured for the one and only time Alan Clark on keyboard. Ed Bicknell and Marcus Cliff were also present. This was the last time that Alan played with Mark within a full band. Great band/music, if you get a chance to listen to they're Album Missing i think you wont be disappointed, good playing, good music,
