Announced as "Mark Knopfler and friends", Mark played with The Notting Hillbillies in the first half of the show and with virtually Dire Straits (including John Illsley and Chris White) in the second half. Jimmy Nail came on stage for backing vocals on Why aye man, Money for nothing and So far away. Jools Holland was a special guest on the 24th July on Run me down and Setting me up. The concerts included new songs Quality shoe and Why aye man from The ragpicker's dream album which was released two months after the charity shows.
