Dire Straits: UK




The band are based in Southampton, but available to perform all over the world.



Dire Straits UK have been delighting audiences at theatres across the UK with their tribute show to the music of Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits.

It takes 6 professional musicians with a passion and love for Dire Straits music to produce a show of this standard with each of the members working incredibly hard to study the original arrangements and sounds to faithfully re-produce the authentic feel of Dire Straits that have audiences thinking that Dire Straits are in the room with them.

During the 1.5 hour show, audiences will hear the biggest hits and fan favourites including Sultans of Swing, Romeo and Juliet, Walk of Life and Money For Nothing, among others, all performed with the guitars and amps that Knopfler is known for.

The band are made up of professional musicians including Mark Knopfler tribute David Knight and 9 year member of Madness the Saxophonist Steve Turner and, as standard, Dire Straits UK comes with their theatre Sound Technician and his theatre grade PA system.
