police squad Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 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) 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I only had it in my hands for a couple of minutes, but that Bravewood was clearly something special! Yeah thanks Andy. I'm going to be concentrating on my 80s band (in which I sing and play guitar) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
