Dire Straits by Alchemy: Live (with support from The NE Street Band Acoustic Duo) 18+
Money for Nothing? Money’s Worth more like it, with 3 sets of classic tunes in store for you this evening.
Headliners Alchemy: Live bring you two great sets chock full of classic early 80s era of Dire Straits to life with hits including Sultans of Swing, Money for Nothing, Tunnel of Love, Romeo and Juliet, Brothers In Arms and more.
The band, fronted by authentic-sounding vocalist and superb guitarist Martin Ledger, are united by a common love of the music of Mark Knopfler and recreate his trademark sound as accurately as possible with a painstaking attention to detail.
Alchemy: Live are all about the music, no lookalike competitions here as they faithfully recreate the Dire Straits sound & feel, with each song a re-enactment of a specific performance by the original band.
As the name suggests, many of the song versions are taken from the multi-platinum selling double live album Alchemy Live, generally recognised as one of the greatest live albums ever recorded.
Close your eyes and you’re right there at the Hammersmith Odeon back in 1983!
And prior to that we are delighted to announce that Rico and Louise from the North East Street Band will be performing a jaw-dropping set of stripped-down Springsteen to open the night in style.
Running time: approx. 2 hours 45mins including interval
