The series will follow Johnson and Knopfler as they interact and explore the legacies of six music legends: Tom Jones, Sam Fender, Cyndi Lauper, Nile Rodgers, Carlos Santana, and Emmylou Harris.

“Join AC/DC singer Brian Johnson and Dire Straits singer/guitarist Mark Knopfler as they share their incredible knowledge and experience and a curated selection of music royalties” says Sky’s description of the programme.

“Guests share stories from their own careers and discuss the songs that shaped them as musicians and fans. Mark and Brian do the same, painting a fascinating portrait of their musical lives together.” is noted.

Each episode will feature performances by Johnson and Knopfler and their guest. For example, the episode with Cyndi Lauper features a new cover of her hit ‘True Colors’ and the episode with Santana sees the legendary guitarist play ‘Black Magic Woman’.
