Guitar God Mark Knopfler chooses his own Rock God.

Mark Knopfler is a Guitar God, no question. But who does he rate, above everyone else? He's revealing his own Rock God on the show...
Mark has a busy 2024 on the horizon. His new solo album 'One Deep River' is out in April. He's also just about to release an ambitious single in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust, called 'Mark Knopfler's Guitar Heroes', featuring a staggering amount of legendary guitar players, including Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend and Jeff Beck. 
Also on the programme, Johnnie's 'This Week In Rock' highlights a breakthrough for Radiohead and 'Live And Dangerous' heads to the early '70s for some guitar action at the Filmore East in New York!
