police squad Posted October 19, 2021 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

toneknob Posted October 19, 2021 Posted October 19, 2021 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") 1 Quote

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

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

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
