Dire Straits

Algo sobre ellos:
Todo comenzó en Londres, donde tres amigos compartían piso. Se trataba de los hermanos Mark y David Knopfler, junto a John Illsley.
Mark trabajaba como maestro de escuela, David era asistente social y John trabajaba en una tienda de discos. Su situación económica no les permitía demasiadas alegrías.
A ellos se solía unir su amigo Pick Whiters, quien era el único que estaba introducido en el mundo de la música. Poseía experiencia como músico, tras haber participado en algunos grupos.
En 1977 Pick y Mark deciden crear un grupo. Pick sugiere el nombre: 'Dire Straits', algo así como 'situación límite'.
Juntos, los cuatro componentes del grupo consiguen reunir el dinero para grabar una maqueta. En ella, cuatro temas: 'Wild West End', 'Water Of Love', 'Sacred Loving' y 'Sultans Of Swing'.
Entre los oyentes de la emisora donde se puso un dia su maqueta se encontraba un conocido mánager de Fonogram, quien no cesa hasta que consigue que dos Dire firmen un contrato con su compañía. El mismo representante de Fonogram les presenta a una representante para sus conciertos.
Entre todas las notas del grupo destacan las de la guitarra de Mark Knopfler, quien nos obsequia con sonidos extraordinarios entre el blues yel rock.
A finales de 1984 se encierran para preparar su nuevo disco. La grabación de este nuevo álbum les llevará varios meses y con ellos colaborar artistas de la talla de Sting. El nuevo álbum se titula 'Brothers In Arms' y será su disco más vendido en todo el mundo, con canciones como 'So Far Away', 'Money For Nothing', 'Walk Of Life', etc.
La gira del disco 'Brothers In Arms' supuso repetir el éxito cosechado por el disco. Duró dos años y ofrecieron 250 conciertos en todo el mundo.
En 1991 publicaron 'On Every Street', que no cubrió las espectativas generadas por los anteriores títulos y que ha sido, hasta la fecha, el último de los Dire Straits.
Aunque no han anunciado definitivamente su separación, la verdad es que realizan trabajos independientes.
Por ejemplo, Mark Knopfler ha editado varios discos en compañía de su guitarra, varios de ellos como bandas sonoras para películas
