Been a fan since: 1980. Grew up listening to the Police during my teen years and then became a huge admirer of Sting’s work when he went solo. I waited eagerly for each new album he released and listening to each one on repeat for months on end. Now I am busy collecting each album on vinyl!

Favourite Sting song: So many – favourites include ‘Bourbon Street’, ‘Shape of My Heart’, ‘Little Wing’ and ‘They Dance Alone’. My recent favourite is ‘Il Nostro Amore’ with Giordana Angi.

Favourite Police song: 'Tea in The Sahara'.

Favourite Sting album: 'Dream of the Blue Turtles'.

Favourite Police album: 'Synchronicity'.

Most memorable concert: So many! I have been lucky to see Sting 10 times! The first time with The Police in 1983, while on a student working holiday in Munich. The fabulous Synchronicity tour. The vibrant colours of the Yellow/Blue/Red jackets the 3 guys wore are still etched in my brain 41 years on! Followed by 2 concerts in London, 1 in North Carolina, 4 in Dublin, and just this week 1 in Cork and 1 in Belfast. Another special memory is the arrival onstage of the Chilean women dancing the Cueca, during ‘They Dance Alone’ circa 1988 in Wembley Arena. Very emotional. I share a photo from Belfast June 2024 with fellow Sting/Police fan Jane, also at the Munich concert in 1983. Our poster is a tribute to that epic Synchronicity album cover.
