Dire Straits 1978 Durham University Promotional Concert Poster (UK)

£220.00

The quintessential poster from one of rock music's most iconic bands, Dire Straits. This vintage concert poster is a rare find for any serious fan or collector, capturing the energy and excitement of the group's first UK tour in 1978.

Measuring 28cm x 42cm, this original promotional poster features John Halliday and Brigitte Gaderer posing with the band members in front of the iconic Durham Cathedral. The concert was just one of 55 dates on the tour, which spanned from June to November 1978. The event took place in the UK, a country where Dire Straits would later become synonymous with hits like "Sultans of Swing" and "Romeo and Juliet".

A crease runs along the upper left corner, adding a touch of wear to this otherwise pristine poster. Despite its minor imperfection, the condition is still very good plus, indicating that it's free from major flaws.

The original material has been preserved with care, showcasing the band's early experimentation with folk-infused rock. A must-have for any serious Dire Straits fan or collector, this concert poster offers a unique glimpse into the group's formative years and their early days as a live act.
