Great Straits

A tribute show to Dire Straits in which Oscar Rosende and his band GREAT STRAITS recreate live the repertoire and sound of the British rock band.

GREAT STRAITS is a tribute project to Dire Straits, the British rock band, and to the compositions of Mark Knopfler. The guitarist from A Coruña, Oscar Rosende, leads this project, which presents itself as a tribute and not as the original line-up.

The show brings together nine musicians and seeks to recreate in great detail both the staging and the sound of the British group. Some of their best-known songs are performed live on stage by Rosende's band.

Among those who have followed Rosende's work is Guy Fletcher, keyboardist of Dire Straits, who remarked that when he heard one of his performances he believed it was a recording by the group itself.
