They are featuring a Dire Straits and Bruce Springsteen combination - Money for Nothing - at the Moira venue.

The band have performed all over the world, and have studied Dire Straits in great depth in order to be as close as possible to the real thing.

Fronting the band is the brilliant guitarist and "Mark Knopfler sound-alike", Aled Williams, and behind him, the line-up features top-class and experienced musicians. The result is a performance that makes Money For Nothing a "must see" for any rock enthusiast or Dire Straits fan.

Featuring all the hits from their first ever single, 'Sultans of Swing' through to 'Brothers in Arms', this show will leave you absolutely mesmerised!

The also includes a Springsteen tribute. The Sound Of Springsteen have been been singing, performing, and playing in sync as if they'd been together their entire musical careers.
