I will be in conversation with Dire Streets on this Week's What's Ahead
Dire Streets perfectly capture the distinctive, authentic sound of one of the biggest guitar bands of all time.
Fronted by finger picking guitar ace John Brunsdon and his band of accomplished musicians, they play with an attention to detail and musicianship that marks them as the stand-out Dire Straits tribute in the UK.
Dire Streets cover tracks from early favourites like Sultans of Swing and Lady Writer, through to the mega-hits of the 80s and Brothers in Arms, taking in all the classic album and live versions from the legendary Alchemy, Live Aid and Mandela concerts.
Dire Streets were founded in 2010 following a chat over a pint in The Snooty Fox, Tetbury between John and experienced tribute band drummer Dik Chandler. Four years later, Dire Streets are one of the UK’s leading tribute acts – playing to packed theatres and arts centres across the UK.
Dire Streets make no attempt to look like the original so no headbands or pink suits, just brilliant songs skilfully played with the enthusiasm and respect they deserve.
