ERAS: STING - 2. NEW YORK, NEWCASTLE (320kbs-m4a/65mb/28mins)
BBC Radio 2 broadcast: 25th August 2024
When Sting, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers formed the Police, none of them could have predicted the phenomenon that they would become.
In Episode Two, we follow the band from the start of that journey to their world-dominating peak. In 5 years, they'll go from grubby bars to the home of arena rock - Shea Stadium.
Along the way, they'll produce some of the defining hits of a generation. But as Sting asserts himself as a songwriter, tensions brew… and something has to give.
Featuring rare BBC archive, expert interviews and iconic tunes, this is your window into the blend of genius and hard work that propelled Sting and the Police to the top of the charts around the globe.
A Cup and Nuzzle Production. Written and produced by Joe Foley.
