Alchemy Live brings the sound and energy of Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits to Smile Bar and Venue in Bradford on Saturday 3 April 2027. The band focuses on faithfully recreating the music of the early 80s, performing classics such as *Sultans of Swing*, *Money for Nothing*, *Tunnel of Love* and *Brothers in Arms*. Rather than relying on costumes or lookalike gimmicks, the set is built around the intricate guitar work and atmospheric rhythms that defined the era. The room fills with the clean, fingerpicked notes and brooding basslines that made Dire Straits stadium headliners. Tickets are £18.
Alchemy Live bring to life the classic era of Dire Straits from the early 80s, playing all the hits including Sultans of Swing, Money for Nothing, Tunnel of Love, Brothers In Arms and many more.
This show isn’t about dressing up in 80s clothes, nor is it a lookalike competition, Alchemy Live are all about faithfully recreating the sound & feel of the music, each song is a re-enactment of a specific performance by the original band.
As the name suggests, many of the song versions are taken from the multi platinum selling double live album “Alchemy Live”, generally recognised to be one of the best live albums ever recorded.
The band also revisit other legendary Dire Straits performances such as Live Aid in 1985 and their final tour in 1992 as featured on the final live album “On the Night” recorded at Arena of Nimes, France.
