JOHN ILLSLEY My Life in Dire Straits (2021 UK 336-page
hardback book - Dire Straits filled giant stadiums around the
world and sold hundreds of millions of records. Throughout the
eighties they were one of the biggest bands on the planet. Their
classic songs formed the soundtrack of a generation and live on
today: still racking up sales, still being played on the radio on
every continent. In this book, bassist John Illsley evokes the
spirit of the times and tells the story of one of the great live acts
of rock history. He recounts the band's rise from humble origins
in London's spit-and-sawdust pubs to the best-known venues in
the world, the working man's clubs to Madison Square Garden,
gigging with wild punk bands to the Live Aid stage at Wembley.
Until, ultimately, the shattering demands of touring on a global
scale and living life in the spotlight took their inevitable toll. Told
with searching honesty, soulful reflection and wry humour, this
is the first and only account of that incredible story. Complete
with the gold-embossed outer dust-jacket which displays
reviews by Roger Taylor, Mike Rutherford, Mark Knopfler [who
also provides the foreword] and more, the book remains in near
'as new' condition)
