The music of the Police and Sting is an excellent choice for a tribute show – one of 14 staged by the Night Owl team, and it works well. Musically the crack musicians on stage got to grips with the complicated drum patterns of Stewart Copeland and the clever bass lines of Sting, not forgetting Andy Summers’ exquisite guitar work. They delivered that sound so well underlying yet again the quality of the people on stage who are proud to wear the Night Owl badge.
Angus Monro loves Sting and the Police and that really does come across. This is no jobbing band performing a few lacklustre covers! Every lyric and every note is respected and delivered, and as well as Police hits, time was devoted to Sting’s “Field Of Gold” and other solo tracks.
Again, the research that went into this show was clear – some fun and interesting anecdotes were punctuated into the set and it was another triumph.
