The Straits

The Straits UK are made up of six musicians all with a passion for delivering quality music and performance every time. 

From Newcastle Upon Tyne (“the very heart of Dire Straits”), the idea to form a tribute to Dire Straits originated with the frontman and drummer, who happen to be father and son. They have both been lifelong Dire Straits fans, meaning attention to detail is second to none. 

Performing all the hits from The Dire Straits back catalogue, with authenticity that has been likened to ‘listening to the real thing’ by many. 

Come with us to experience and re-live the unmistakable guitar and keyboard sounds of the Alchemy, Wembley ’85, On Every Street tours and much more!
