Thanks, everyone!

I don't have too many details yet, but I'll know more soon.

Incidentally, its this event: http://thesagegateshead.org/event/bobby-robson-event - It sold out in less than a day, I think...

Fantastic! Huge congrats, WOT. I'm a major Knopfler fan as well. Hoping for video and a full report when you've had time to come down.
