Money for Nothing, a tribute to Dire Straits fronted by Howie G, brings the band's hits to the Spa Theatre.
Money for Nothing play the Spa Theatre at Scarborough Spa on Saturday 27 February 2027. They're a tribute to Dire Straits, and the set draws from six platinum albums, leaning on the hits: 'Money for Nothing', 'Romeo and Juliet', 'Sultans of Swing', 'Private Investigations', 'Walk of Life', 'Brothers in Arms' and 'So Far Away'. You'll get the soaring guitar solos and the riffs you recognise from the records.
The band formed in 2000, and they've spent over two decades working at the same thing. Fronting them is Howie G, known from his years with The Classic Rock Show, backed by a line-up of experienced musicians who have studied the original material in depth to recreate the sound as close as possible to the real thing. It's a tribute that takes its cue from Dire Straits' run as one of the world's premier rock bands — they sold more than 120 million albums and spent over a thousand weeks on the UK charts, ranking fifth all-time. The Observer called the show 'very good'.
