From hanging out with Elvis to drinking with David Bowie, a host of the world’s most iconic names reflect on the secrets of rock and roll in new series, Johnson and Knopfler’s Music Legends. Audiences will be treated to a joyous journey through decades of music with exclusive access to a series of once-in-a-lifetime meetings, interviews and jam sessions between rock’s ultimate legends.

Join AC/DC singer, Brian Johnson and Dire Straits singer and guitarist, Mark Knopfler as they share their incredible knowledge and experiences with each other - and a hand-picked selection of music royalty. Guests including Sir Tom Jones, Nile Rodgers and Cyndi Lauper share stories from their own careers and discuss the tracks that shaped them as musicians and fans. Mark and Brian do the same, painting a fascinating portrait of their shared musical lives.

Four musicians sit together in a recording studio, smiling, with guitars, a drum kit, and microphones visible behind them.

Sky Post Production’s team are vastly experienced when it comes to music-based programming and for this series several decades worth of technical and creative know-how were on show. But where to start? Online, Audio or Grade? You could just make like a guitarist and “take your pick”. Unless, of course, you’re a famous fingerpicker like Mark Knopfler. Either way, read on to find out more!

I really loved my visits to Sky to attend the final post on our series. There was a lot to do in all departments, but Chris, Eli and Mark brought passion, patience and good humour, (not to mention their vast experience) to the project and did a stellar job. It’s a rare thing to be in such safe hands these days and being able to trust the team was much appreciated, especially with plenty of last-minute tweaks and changes. Special mention to Vickie Mansell our post supervisor who calmly and cheerfully kept us on track throughout. I look forward to the next opportunity to work with the same team again.
