I've decided to stop doing the Sting / Police tribute

Nearly 15 years and one or two monsterous gigs, many great ones but the monsterous ones like Matala Beach festival in Crete, were truly incredible

 

Expect one or two basses coming up for sale (not the Bravewood replic though lol)

We all look forward to your lute album in a few years time.

 

May I ask (as a fellow ex-tributer) what informed the decision? (no problem if it's "mind your own business, tone")

 

A lute album, that would be dire.

 

I've been doing it for 15 years now, I'm 53 and not as fit as I'd like to be. Dodgy shoulders through sports injuries etc make gigs harder work than they used to be

 

I fancy a few less gigs these days

Glad you had a good ride with that mate. I wish I could've seen one of your gigs.

That's a fitting tribute to one of the UK's finest singer/songwriter/bassist/musician.
