Some info about the recordings in 2011:
20/06/2011 : Richard at the British Grove Studios for the new Mark Knopfler album Privateering , part 1:
Richard is currently 2 weeks in London at the British Grove Studios for the recording sessions for the new Mark Knopfler album . The album will not be released before 2012.
This is what Richard told us about the recording sessions on his site :
Just returned from a fantastic couple weeks of recording with Mark Knopfler in London at his brilliant British Grove Studios and as expected, the songs are great. I've always felt Mark's songwriting was overshadowed by his guitar-god status. He certainly is a genius guitar player, but his songwriting is staggeringly good to me and is what comes first. We recorded a whole bunch of them in two weeks, getting through them in the least amount of time I can ever recall. The musicianship from every corner of the studio was seriously top drawer capped off by MK's guitar-god thing. It's easy to play when you have great songs. I'm a lucky guy to be part of it, to go to London and record in what has to be the finest studio I've ever been in my 40+ years of playing on records, surrounded by the finest engineer, musicians and friends. At the end of each day we'd wander to the pub for a few pints, many bags of crisps and loads of laughs. That was usually followed with a memorable meal...Thai, Indian, Vietnamese, Italian, fish and chips or a darn fine burger from GBK, the Gourmet Burger Kitchen.

22/11/2011 : Richard at the British Grove Studios for the new Mark Knopfler album Privateering , part 2:
After the tour with MK and Bob Dylan ,Richard recorded for another two weeks at the British Grove Studios for the new Mark Knopfler album. Started at 22/11/2011 and ended at 3/12/2011.This is what Richard told us about the recording sessions on his site :
The recording we did in London these past couple of weeks with Mark was nothing short of brilliant.... the songs, performances as well as a couple of the guests that joined us for a few days each; Tim O'Brien and harmonica legend Kim Wilson. No idea when this new record will be released but I think it's safe to say sometime in 2012.
