Communiqué - The Dire Straits Tribute

Communiqué are playing The Continental on Sunday 29 November, a tribute to Dire Straits. They're one of the UK's leading tribute bands for the group, and the show is built to recreate the sound, style and atmosphere of the original.

The set runs from the opening riffs of 'Sultans of Swing' and the storytelling of 'Telegraph Road' through to the soaring melodies of 'Romeo and Juliet' and the anthem 'Money for Nothing'. It's a good cross-section of the songs most people associate with the band, from the early, guitar-led tracks to the bigger hits that came later.

Communiqué describe themselves as one of the UK's leading Dire Straits tribute bands, and the whole night is put together to mirror the sound and feel of the original. The setlist pulls from across the years, so you'll hear the storytelling of 'Telegraph Road' alongside the more melodic 'Romeo and Juliet' and the well-known 'Money for Nothing'.

The gig is in The Continental's Boatyard event space, and it starts at 19:00. Entry is free with pre-booking, though the date is listed as sold out, so it's worth checking the venue's listings if you're hoping to get in.
