About this event

Dire Streets bring to life the classic songs of one of the world’s greatest guitar bands with a level of musicianship and attention to detail that makes them the stand out Dire Straits tribute in the UK. The two-hour theatre show includes faithful renditions of classic studio tracks along with extended live versions from some of the legendary Dire Straits concerts. For over a decade, Dire Streets have performed Dire Straits’ incredible back catalogue to thousands of theatregoers across the UK. No other Dire Streets tribute act comes as close to reproducing Mark Knopfler’s distinctive guitar and vocal tones – making Dire Streets as near to the original band as you can see live. The six-piece band is made up of some of the country’s top tribute musicians and delivers a stunning show that fulfils their mission of doing justice to one of the most original and talented bands the UK has ever produced. The band makes no attempt to look like the original so no headbands or pink suits, just brilliant songs skilfully played with the enthusiasm and respect they deserve.

## Peterborough Spotlight #59 — Local Life, Useful Discoveries and a Few Things Worth Thinking About Welcome to another edition of **Peterborough Spotlight**, bringing together the stories, people and practical information that make life in and around Peterborough interesting. This week, we're looking at everything from opportunities for young people and the everyday costs of keeping a home running to some of the local places and services you might not have explored recently. Ever wondered what your local library offers beyond borrowing books? There's more to discover than you might expect. We're also looking at some of the questions that can arise when renting a home, and the repairs and maintenance issues that can catch householders out. There's a little inspiration from our other publications, too. If you fancy something different in the kitchen, we've got a homemade Indian takeaway challenge, while our Taste Trail friends have been exploring what wine works best with a traditional Sunday roast. We're also making room for the people and organisations who contribute to local life, including community opportunities, activities and familiar faces from across Peterborough. As always, there are stories to explore, useful ideas to take away and a question or two we'd love your opinion on. Peterborough Spotlight #59 — a little more of Peterborough, delivered to your inbox.
