Win an MK Strat signed just for you by Mark

Wednesday - 3rd December 2008

Mark has donated a brand new Fender Mark Knopfler Signature Stratocaster to AMREF, Africa's leading health organisation, with over 50 years experience of saving and transforming lives in urban slums and remote rural communities across Africa. The guitar is being auctioned on ebay to raise money for AMREFf's Katine Project. This is a unique partnership launched last year with The Guardian and Barclays to transform the lives of 25,000 people who live in the poor and remote sub-county of Katine, in north-east Uganda. To find out more visit www.amrefuk.org or www.guardian.co.uk/katine. Mark will autograph the guitar with the winning bidder’s name.

Hello sigurda. That URL is my Blog. You had to post your Blog or Website. Anyway, you are a good fan. I am sure. This Mark collaboration with AMREF and THE GUARDIAN is an honor cause. Mark Knopfler is a Gentleman and he never forget people in need. Big Star and Great Man.

Mark Knopfler,

All my life I have been a fan of you. I love the way you play the guitar... Its incredible the sound you can make. And I admire your availability to help most disfavored people. Some popular artist (cinema, theatre, music,...) are really great, but they don't have the sensivity that you have. And that's really required in the world we live.
I congratulate to it with this great cause, AMREFf's Katine Project, because those people need to feel they are alive to.
I saw your majestical concert in Lisbon 04/04/2008.... it was a dream come true!! Congratulations Mark, you are the best!!
Like a big fan, I can not go out without saying:
DIRE STRAITS COME BACK, PLEASE WE NEED YOU!!!
