“What he did with it, it just brings you to tears”: Jeff Beck’s last-ever recording has been released – as Mark Knopfler’s sensational star-studded charity single finally arrives

.

Mark Knopfler’s hotly anticipated Guitar Heroes charity single – a nine-minute extended cut of his iconic instrumental Going Home (Theme From Local Hero) – has finally arrived.

First announced in early February, the track sees the Dire Straits legend share the six-string spotlight with a borderline absurd number of his guitar-playing peers (more than 50), all of whom have come together to record in support of Teenage Cancer Trust and Teen Cancer America.
