Chris White is a saxophonist who's shared the stage with countless stars; Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton and Tom Jones just to name a few. 

But it was in 1985 that he joined one of the biggest bands on the planet at the peak of their fame; Dire Straits. 

He was part of the band's memorable Live Aid performance and continued to tour with the band afterwards. 

Now he's coming to Wellington's St James Theatre as part of the Dire Straits Experience, and joined Nick Mills to talk about his memories of the band, as well as what audiences can expect.
