I reently caught up with keyboardist Alan Clark, one of five members of Dire Straits Legacy who recorded and toured as members of Dire Straits, and was recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a significant member of Dire Straits. 

Like millions of other people around the world I’m a big fan of Dire Straits and I can recall many special moments of my life that have their music as the soundtrack. I am glad Dire Straits Legacy will bring the music of Dire Straits played by musicians who made it around the UK in 2022. The band topped the charts with hits from 79 through to the early 90s that included Sultans of Swing, Romeo & Juliette, Money For Nothing, brothers In Arms & Walk Of Life.. fans can expect to hear these and many more favourites at The Indigo 02, London on 15th January 2022.

My friend Jo and I absolutely adored every single new song as well as his classic tunes. The celebrated international Irish artist has created music that has become our pop soundtrack for the past two decades of pop music, hand-picks twelve homeland songs that he was born to sing. Drawing from the wealth of Ireland’s talent, Songs From Home is an intimate album that boasts brilliant reworks as well as an original single from the star.
