Money for Nothing Dire Straits Tribute

Money for Nothing was formed in 2000 as a tribute to one of the world’s best rock bands – Dire Straits. The abundant energy, excellence and musicality of their performance makes Money For Nothing a “must see” for any rock lover or Dire Straits fan. Frontman of the band is the brilliant guitarist and Mark Knopfler-like Aled Williams. Behind him is the line-up of experienced and top musicians who make this band a worthy tribute to Dire Straits. Aled and the entire band have studied Dire Straits thoroughly to bring their tribute as close to the real thing as possible.
