Mark Knopfler was born in Glasgow, SCOTLAND, on the 12th of August 1949. He was around seven years old when the Knopfler family moved to Newcastle-Upon-Tyne in the North-East of England. In his teens, he purchased his first guitar, a twin pick-up Hofner Super Solid. At school Knopfler had demonstrated a flair for English and in 1967 he went to study journalism for a year at Harlow Technical College. At the end of the course he secured a job in Leeds as a junior reporter on the Yorkshire Evening Post. After two years he decided to further his studies; on graduating from Leeds University in 1973 Knopfler decided to go to London and try to break into the Rock scene.
By 1977, he was playing with his brother David and his roommate John Illsley; during that summer, the trio cut a demo with drummer Pick Withers and with his arrival the quartet christened themselves Dire Straits releasing their eponymous debut in autumn of 1978.
