Met The Dire Straits Experience keert de muziek terug van een van de meest creatieve en unieke rockbands aller tijden.
The Dire Straits Experience
Former Dire Straits member Chris White and six world-class musicians
For the countless loyal fans it felt like the end of the world in 1995: the Dire Straits stopped performing. But thanks to those same passionate fans, the music of the legendary rock formation is more alive today than ever.
The demand for songs from the rich musical universe of the Dire Straits remains undiminished, even among new generations. The Dire Straits Experience answers that call. Worldwide, this band is considered the best you can hear since the original formation - you won't get any closer to the original.
Led by former Dire Straits band member Chris White, six world-class musicians revive the gems of the original repertoire: Sultans of Swing, Money for Nothing, Private Investigations and many other classics. The music is still alive - don't miss it.
The Dire Straits Experience manages to authentically recreate the unsurpassed musical class of the original band. Chris White even calls Terence Reis the only one who can match the vocal and instrumental qualities of Mark Knopfler - and that says everything about the bar set here. The band members have had impressive musical careers, working with such luminaries as Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Tina Turner and Mike Oldfield. With The Dire Straits Experience returns the music of one of the most creative and unique rock bands of all time.
