Brothers in Arms 
 

BROTHERS IN ARMS - The only live band on Cyprus dedicated to the music of Mark Knopfler, Brothers in Arms have captured the fiery guitar sound and atmospheric keyboard nuances of Dire Straits.

Their show features selections from the eponymous first album through to the platinum selling "Greatest Hits" replicating authentic vocal harmonies and moody lighting.

Mark Widdler's clean Stratocaster and hard rocking Les Paul tones contrast with nylon-strung subtlety on slower songs - all with Dire Straits trademark expressive vocals.

Bruce Horny's classical training is a huge advantage in coping with the musical and tonal range required to handle 3 keyboards and backing vocals. Hard to believe that despite sounding like an orchestra he only has ONE pair of hands.

Hugh J Botham. As an accomplished 6-string gunslinger, the adventurous Dire Straits bass lines hold no terrors for Hugh. Whether wailing like Sting or duetting with Bruce, his vocal harmonies enormously enrich the band's sound.

Wick Pithers. Brothers In Arms music calls for a vast range of drum and percussion sounds, provided with aplomb and rare skill by this fine musician and son of Cymru.

Whether you're under Private Investigation, on the run from a Sultan with a Switchblade Knife, canoodling in a Tunnel of Love, Calling Elvis while Twisting By The Pool, revising Romeo and Juliet, or simply Relaxing with a Lady Writer who earns Money For Nothing - this show has something for you.
