More about Dire Straits ...

Dire Straits was a British rock band, formed in 1977 by Mark Knopfler (lead guitar and lead vocal), his younger brother David Knopfler (guitar, backing vocal), John Illsley (bass, backing vocal), and Pick Withers (drums), and managed by Ed Bicknell. Although the band was formed in an era when punk rock was at the forefront, Dire Straits played a more conventional style, albeit with a stripped-down sound that appealed to audiences also weary of the overproduced stadium rock of the 1970s. In their early days, Mark and David requested that pub owners turn down their sound so that patrons could converse while the band played, an indication of their unassuming demeanor. Despite this oddly self-effacing approach to rock and roll, Dire Straits soon became hugely successful, with their first album going multi-platinum globally.
