A record number of sold albums — more than one hundred and twenty million pieces — continues to grow, and further, because of new, young fans who join the worldwide community of the band lovers.

Against the background of twenty-year break and a growing need to hear one of the most dramatic song collections in the history of rock music, Chris White and other Dire Straits members organized group for the charity concert at the Royal Albert Hall in 2011. As the soloist was invited songwriter Terence Reis. For three and a half years, the group has given more than 150 concerts in 25 countries.

Together, they worked with an enviable amount of the first echelon rock stars, including, Mark Knopfler, David Gilmour, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Elton John, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, Van Morrison, Tom Jones and Sheryl Crow. Most recently, the band was joined by drummer Chris Whitten, who has played with Dire Straits 229 concerts in 19 countries.
