DS:UK… in Tribute to Dire Straits | ON anoTHEr NIGHT

DS:UK bring their tribute to Dire Straits to the Exeter Corn Exchange on Saturday 14 November, as part of their ON anoTHEr NIGHT tour. It's their fifth tour since they started, and this one focuses on the final chapter of Dire Straits' career.

The set is built around the 1991 album On Every Street, which the original band took on a massive two-year world tour — one of their most successful. You'll hear tracks from that record like 'Calling Elvis', 'The Bug' and 'On Every Street' sitting alongside the group's best-known classics, so it's not just the later material. If you're more familiar with the early hits, they're still in the mix.

DS:UK formed in Southampton in 2015 and have built their reputation on the musical detail they put into the sound, which has won them a following among people who really know Mark Knopfler's band. They've toured since 2016 and stage a different show every year, each one devoted to a specific era: they've done the Alchemy Tour and the Brothers in 85 tour, and ON anoTHEr NIGHT is the latest in that sequence. They're praised for playing and sounding like the real thing, without the fake lookalikes or Geordie accents, and for an obvious affection for Knopfler's music.

Tickets are £24, which includes a £1.00 booking fee. The show starts at 7.30pm, with doors opening at 6.45pm, and children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
