It’s a tribute act with a difference: the Dire Straits Experience not only includes some of the finest musos around, but also features a member of the original band itself.

Chris White – the man responsible for Dire Straits’ legendary sax sound – brought together his homage to the sultans of swing alongside singer/guitarist Terrence Reis. They’re a seven-piece altogether, and are on their way direct from sold-out tours in the US and Europe.

See the Dire Straits Experience at Sydney’s State Theatre on Thursday October 9.
