John Illsley ~ The Life and Times of Dire Straits - “An Evening and Q&A of Music & Memories”.
The evening will feature classics from the Dire Straits history and include a Q & A with a/v led by Paul Cummins (ex-Dire Straits management). Paul will be asking questions, during which John will reveal the story and development of the band from its humble beginnings in a council flat in South London, to playing all over the world to millions of fans, making albums in London, New York, Montserrat and Nassau; performing and working with some of the world’s most influential and creative musicians and producers.
John will also be joined on stage with fellow musicians from John’s band who will play music from the whole DS catalogue including, Money for Nothing, Brothers in Arms, Romeo and Juliet and Sultans of Swing.
It promises to be a special, intimate evening looking into the life and times of one of the biggest rock & roll bands of all time.
