A tribute show to Dire Straits with Telegraph Road at Flamingos Live in Newcastle.
Telegraph Road bring their Dire Straits tribute to Flamingos Live on Saturday 7 November. It's a full evening dedicated to the music of Mark Knopfler and his band, with the set built around the songs and sounds that made them a household name.
If you've got a soft spot for the Dire Straits catalogue, you know where the focus will be. The band works from the songs that defined the group's run, from the early pub-rock days through to the polished, worldwide success of the eighties. The guitar work is the centre of it all, and that's what Telegraph Road sets out to recreate. It's a tribute that doesn't just lean on the big hits, but looks back across the whole stretch of their recording career.
Flamingos Live is a well-known spot in Newcastle, and this is one of those nights where the music takes up the whole room. It's a tribute show, so the set is built on the songs you already know, played in a live setting rather than as a recording. The band bills the night as The Dire Straits Legacy, which gives you a good idea of what to expect: a run through the songs that stayed with people long after the original band stopped touring.
