“Undoubtedly the best Dire Straits tribute in Europe” are in Torquay for 1 night only at the Babbacombe Theatre on Thursday 27th January at 7.30pm. The show had to be postponed literally the day before its November scheduled date, because a band member was taken poorly.

Undoubtedly though, the wait will be worth it and what a brilliant first production to play on the Babbacombe boards in 2022!

Formed in 2000 as a tribute to one of the world’s premier rock bands – Dire Straits, Money For Nothing have an abundance of energy as well as excelling in musicality. This is a  “must see show” for any rock enthusiast or Dire Straits fan. Fronting the band is the outstanding Howie G (who you may recognise from his years with The Classic Rock Show) Behind him the line-up features top-class and experienced musicians that make this band a worthy tribute to Dire Straits. Howie and all the band have studied Dire Straits in great depth to re-create their tribute to be as close as possible to the real thing and a respectful tribute to their idol and guitar legend.

“Make no mistake, they are good, very good” – The Observer
