Nov 8, 2023 · At its core, “Why Aye Man” is a reflection of Knopfler’s fascination with the working-class culture of Northeast England, particularly the Newcastle and Tyneside areas. The phrase “Why Aye Man” itself is a local Geordie expression, derived from the words “Why aye,” meaning “yes” or “I agree.”
Knopfler gives a folk imprint to the whole album without relying too heavily on the acoustic guitar. The first song, "Why Aye Man", was used as the theme tune for the third series of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet which first aired in 2002.

When did Mark Knopfler release the Ragpicker's dream?
