Dire Streets bring to life the classic songs of one of the world’s greatest guitar bands with a level of
musicianship and attention to detail that makes them the stand out Dire Straits tribute in the UK.
The two-hour theatre show includes faithful renditions of classic studio tracks along with extended
live versions from some of the legendary Dire Straits concerts.
For over a decade, Dire Streets have performed Dire Straits’ incredible back catalogue to thousands
of theatre-goers across the UK.
No other Dire Streets tribute act comes as close to reproducing Mark Knopfler’s distinctive guitar and
vocal tones – making Dire Streets as near to the original band as you can see live.
The six-piece band is made up of some of the country’s top tribute musicians and delivers a stunning
show that fulfils their mission of doing justice to one of the most original and talented bands the UK
has ever produced.
The band makes 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.
About Dire Straits
Dire Straits were one of the major guitar based bands of the late 70s. Despite forming at the height of Punk, front man Mark Knopfler’s distinctive guitar picking style gave the band an alternative and instantly recognisable sound.
The band reached its peak in the mid 80s playing larger venues including a memorable slot at Live Aid. So far record sales have reached over 100 million worldwide and Knopfler is still regarded as one of the finest guitarists and songwriters this country has produced

Laurent Tirard’s hilarious comedy sees Mother Veronique and the five eccentric sisters of the convent of St. Benedict set out to save the local nursing home by entering the local bicycle race…
When the local nursing home finds itself in dire straits and in danger of falling to pieces, it’s down to Mother Veronique (Valérie Bonneton) and the five eccentric sisters of the convent of St. Benedict to find a way to help.
Spotting a poster for a bike race with a €25,000 cash prize (and the incentive of a trip to the Vatican for the winner!), the sisters might just have their answer. The only drawbacks are that they are terrible cyclists, and their rival convent, led by Mother Veronique’s childhood nemesis Mother Josephine (Sidse Babett Knudsen), have their own plans for the prize money – and just a little more experience… But God works in mysterious ways!
