Sultans of swing
For the past three years, multi-talented musician and master guitarist Mel Botes, has tantalized audiences all over the country with his critically acclaimed musical performance, Crazy Diamond – A Tribute to PINK FLOYD . Audiences and critics agreed that he mastered the complexity and density of the Floyd in a way that none of the other tribute shows have achieved. He then followed this with David’s Confession, About Time, Chapter II , an original composition of his own (dating back to 1998), featuring various other acclaimed musicians with him.
Now, by popular demand, he is presented the next chapter in this remarkable series of stage productions with the long awaited “Sultans of Swing” – A Tribute to DIRE STRAITS .
Featuring the same pin point accuracy in his playing, the same acclaimed band and the same delightful Botes touch, this show promises everything audiences have come to expect from the virtuoso, including his own special touch. Like in the case of his previous shows, this show features an overview of the complete anthology of the band and it’s enigmatic front man, Mark Knopfler. The title is derived from their definitive song with the same name, which has of course become a standard in serious guitar playing repertoire.
