| • | Dire Straits were a British rock band, formed in 1977 by frontman Mark Knopfler (guitar and vocals), his brother David Knopfler (guitar), John Illsley (bass) and Pick Withers (drums), and managed by Ed Bicknell. Although the band was formed in an era when punk rock reigned, Dire Straits worked within the conventions of "classic" rock, albeit with a stripped-down sound that appealed to modern audiences weary of the overproduced stadium rock of the 70s. In the early days of the band, Mark Knopfler was said to have asked pub managers to lower the volume of the amplifiers, so that pub patrons could converse while the band played. Despite this oddly self-effacing approach to rock and roll, Dire Straits eventually became hugely successful.
