‘I Need That Number Now, Danny!’ (Excerpt)
[…]Dire Straits were always brilliant, but they were an almost-unknown band at this point and I was shooting them to promote their first album, at a tiny-but-famous London club on Wardour Street, Soho: The Marquee. It was a series of Tuesday night gigs, which should give you a clue as to how big they weren’t at this point. I remember the first week, a bit of a crowd showed up, but nothing special.

“That’s Mark Knopfler!”

“Yeah.”

“You know him?”

“Yeah.”

“Have you got his number? Can you give me his number?”

I didn’t have Mark’s number, but I knew I could get it from their manager, Ed Bicknell, after we landed. I was slightly taken aback by Bob’s enthusiasm, but told him I would sort it out for him back at the hotel[…]

As I opened the door to my hotel room, the phone was already ringing. I answered it.

“Hey man, have you got that number? I need that number now, Danny.” Bob insisted[...]
