An evening with John Illsley about the Life and Times of Dire Straits - “A Q&A of Music & Memories”

Step inside the extraordinary story of one of rock’s most legendary bands with John Illsley, founding member and long-time bass player of Dire Straits.
In this intimate and entertaining evening, John will reflect on his life in music – from the early days of the band, to global superstardom, to the wild ride that followed. With insights and anecdotes only an insider could share, this Q&A-style event promises a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the highs, lows, and everything in between.
John will be interviewed live on stage by his old friend and former Dire Straits co-manager Paul Cummins, and will perform many Dire Straits classics alongside his band – featuring renowned musicians Robbie McIntosh, Steve Smith, and Hannah Robinson.
