Dire Straits Followers and statistics on 4 networks

Dire Straits is a British rock band whose music blends blues rock, a clean fingerstyle guitar sound and a laid-back, story-driven approach to songwriting. The group is closely tied to the guitar playing and songs of Mark Knopfler, and its lineup over the years also included David Knopfler, John Illsley, Pick Withers, Alan Clark and Guy Fletcher, among others.

Among its best-known songs are Sultans of Swing, Money for Nothing, Walk of Life, Telegraph Road and Romeo and Juliet, and the album Brothers in Arms is one of its most recognised works. The band became a fixture of classic rock and stadium rock in the eighties.

Online, the band shares official music videos, live performances and interviews, mostly through its video channels, alongside updates on its social pages.
