Tomorrow evening, February 18, will see the highly regarded Dire Straits Experience perform at the Alexela Concert Hall in Tallinn. The group, which is led by former Dire Straits band member Chris White, will perform classic hits such as ‘Sultans of Swing’.
Since the Dire Straits ceased performing in 1995, fans have yearned for the electrifying experience of their music. Fortunately, The Dire Straits Experience, led by former Straits band member Chris White, continues to captivate audiences worldwide with authentic renditions of the band’s greatest hits, including classics like ‘Sultans of Swing’ and ‘Money for Nothing’.
Chris White believes that Terence Reis, the vocalist of The Dire Straits Experience, possesses a rare ability to channel the vocals and guitar prowess of Mark Knopfler, the frontman of Dire Straits. The rest of the talented 6-man ensemble have extensive musical backgrounds, including collaborations with legends such as Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, and David Bowie.
Tickets for tomorrow evening’s concert at the Alexela Concert Hall in Tallinn are still available at Piletilevi.
