About An Evening with John Illsley about the Life and Times of Dire Straits

Along with Mark Knopfler, bass player John was a founder member of the legendary band Dire Straits who, during their time together, sold over 120 million albums.

The evening will feature classics from the Dire Straits catalogue and include a Q & A with a/v led by Paul Cummins (ex-Dire Straits management). Paul will be asking questions, during which John will reveal the story and development of the band from its humble beginnings in a council flat in South London to playing all over the world to millions of fans.
