THE DIRE STRAIGHTS EXPERIENCE<br />
The Dire Straits Experience,<br />
the acclaimed live show from<br />
former Dire Straits touring<br />
member Chris White, have<br />
announced a six-date UK tour<br />
spanning <strong>May</strong> and June <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
Over 25 years have passed since<br />
Dire Straits disbanded, leaving<br />
a catalogue of some of the<br />
finest compositions and musical<br />
performances that the heyday of<br />
rock ever produced. If anything,<br />
their reputation has only grown<br />
with time. Record sales of more<br />
than 125 million albums continue<br />
to increase as new young fans<br />
discover the music and join<br />
the band’s massive worldwide<br />
following. A trend that is echoed<br />
in their <strong>2018</strong> inauguration into<br />
the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame.<br />
It was against the backdrop of<br />
a two-decade break - and an<br />
increasing demand to hear one<br />
of the most dramatic songbooks<br />
in rock history played live again<br />
– that former members of Dire<br />
Straits, Alan Clark, Chris White<br />
and Phil Palmer formed The<br />
Straits for a charity show at The<br />
Royal Albert Hall in 2011. With<br />
the prolific Knopfler enjoying an<br />
incredibly successful solo career,<br />
Alan Clark called upon the<br />
singer songwriter, Terence Reis<br />
to front the band in his absence.<br />
By the time The Straits ended,<br />
three and a half years later, the<br />
band had played more than 150<br />
shows in 25 countries around<br />
the world.<br />
Chris White said; “I have been<br />
truly amazed and, frankly,<br />
humbled by the response we<br />
have had from the fans on<br />
hearing these songs again. In<br />
Terence Reis, I think we may<br />
have found the only person on<br />
the planet that is able to play<br />
and sing like Mark, but maintain<br />
his own integrity and identity.<br />
I think this is the very essence<br />
of why the fans have been<br />
so accepting of what we do.<br />
They believe in Terence as his<br />
own man. They know he is not<br />
trying to be Mark. Because of<br />
his respect for Mark, Terence is<br />
able to perform these songs in<br />
a very honest way that allows<br />
his energy and talent to come<br />
through. This is exactly what<br />
allows the performances to<br />
feel alive and fresh. Not slavish<br />
copies of a bygone time.<br />
Without Terence, this would<br />
simply not work.”<br />
And so it is that these songs, in<br />
all their ambition, grandeur and<br />
aching beauty, are once again<br />
presented live... for the fans that<br />
that have kept them alive.<br />
