Why see Mark Knopfler?

The lovesick romeo is back on the road!

Ex-Dire Straits British singer-songwriter and guitarist returns to the limelight in 2019 with a brand new tour in support of his latest record, Down The Road Wherever. Famed for his fingerstyle playing, the Brit is a unique talent with a back catalog of classics stretching back over two decades, as well as having toured in the past with Bob Dylan.

Considered to be the most celebrated British guitar hero to emerge in the 1970s and '80s, Knopfler led Dire Straits to new heady heights of fame, with his songwriting skills and finger-style guitaring played a crucial role in cementing their international success. Nowadays Knopfler has built an impressive career independently of Straits as a producer, sideman, songwriter, and film composer, working alongside some of the most respected and best-known figures in music.

Amazing

I have loved Mark's voice since I was a young teenager. It was one of my dreams to see him perform Romeo and Juliet and he took my breath away. Yes, I would have loved to have heard Expresso Love, Hand in Hand and Tunnel of Love from that amazing album, Making Movies but I thoroughly enjoyed this concert. He is a great story teller, gifted writer and a brilliant guitarist! ... Read more
