FEATURE INTERVIEW: THE DIRE STRAITS STORY

Ahead of his UK tour and Q&A sessions, I spoke with John Illsely about the early years of Dire Straits – the road to Brothers in Arms. John also talked about this tour dates for spring 2019 and we reflected on the new guitar scene rising today, and what they can learn from the great, classic bands. Originally broadcast with music in February 2019 on my Friday show.
