Dire Straits guitarist to appear in town
Founding member and bass guitarist of Dire Straits, John Illsley will be performing at Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury with his band in November.
He first took his ‘Life and Times of Dire Straits’ show on the road earlier this year and played across nationwide venues, even taking in Glastonbury Festival. It proved such a success that he’s doing it again this Autumn.
