Formed by former members of Dire Straits because of the substantial demand to hear Dire Straits’ much loved catalogue of great songs, The Straits are one of the best bands you will ever hear.

Alan Clark

Alan joined Dire Straits in 1980 as their first keyboard player and played a significant part in their transformation into one of the world’s biggest bands. Acknowledged by his fellow band members as Dire Straits' unofficial musical director, he played on the Love Over Gold album and every record the band made thereafter, including the iconic Brothers in Arms, and co-produced the band’s last studio album On Every Street. Alan has played and recorded with many other artists including Eric Clapton and Bob Dylan.

Chris White

Chris White's first real break in the music industry came in 1981 when he was asked to play on Nick Heyward's album " North Of A Miracle ". Following this success, his reputation continued to build, being asked to play and record with artists such as Paul McCartney, Aztec Camera, The The and Mark Knopfler, the latter leading to what he is best known for - the saxophone sound of Dire Straits. His work with the band included two World Tours, the " On Every Street " and " On The Night " albums, and the legendary " Live Aid " and " Mandela " concerts. More recently, Chris has also guested on two of Mark Knopfler's solo albums. Outside of this association, he has recorded and toured with many artists, including Joe Cocker and Robbie Williams. He is now also assembling material for his second album of original work.

Steve Ferrone

Acknowledged by his peers as one of the world’s greatest drummers, Steve has played with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for the past 19 years, and now divides his time between the Heartbreakers and The Straits. He first came to the world’s attention with The Average White Band and has since played with a long list of high-profile acts including Eric Clapton, Quincy Jones, Scritti Politti, Chaka Khan and Slash. Steve endorses Gretsch drums, Sabian cymbals and Pro-Mark drumsticks.

Terence Reis

Born in Maputo, Mozambique, Terence grew up playing the guitar in the idiosyncratic style of the local finger picking street musicians, which is remarkably similar to that of Mark Knopfler. He's a really great guitarist, but it was his voice that convinced us that he was the perfect front man for The Straits, which has elements of Knopfler mixed in with his own unmistakable, original sound. An honours graduate of the University of the Witwatersrand School of Dramatic Arts, Johannesburg, Terence has established himself as an award-winning actor and has featured in several major movies while continuing a parallel career as a musician.

Mick Feat

Mick is an internationally renowned bassist who began his career as session bassist for Island Records, and has since gone on to work with many artists including Mark Knopfler, Art Garfunkel, David Gilmour, Van Morrison, Tina Turner and Justin Haywood. A master of most string bass instruments, Mick is also a respected composer and singer.

Jamie Squire

As well as being a fine keyboard player, 24 year-old Jamie is a highly talented multi-instrumentalist and singer who is destined to become a star in his own right, having recently signed a recording contract with I.M.Port records in New York City. Jamie is an enthusiastic and ambitious young man who is considered a major asset to the band.

Adam Phillips

Adam moved to London in the early nineties and began playing guitar with veteran singer songwriter Tom Robinson. Since then, Adam has worked both in the studio or touring with a wide variety of artists including Cher, Tina Turner, Lionel Richie, Rod Stewart, Richard Ashcroft, James Morrison, Hamish Stuart and Enrique Iglesias.
