The Variety Club of Great Britain honoured Sting on May 7 at a star studded event held at the Civic Centre in Newcastle. The tribute lunch started at 1pm and the fun and entertainment went on for almost three hours. Guest of honour Sting was seated with Trudie on the top table along with Jools Holland and the cream of Geordie musical and acting talent - Mark Knopfler, Jimmy Nail, Tim Healy, Denise Welch, Ray Laidlaw and Robson Greene plus a crop of sporting heroes past and present with Bobby Robson, Alan Shearer, Rob Andrew, Peter Beardsley, Jackie Charlton Glenn McRory, and Jonathan Edwards.

Many of Sting's former bandmates were there such as Gordon Solomon (who originally coined the name 'Sting'), Gerry Richardson, John Hedley, Andy Hudson and Paul Elliot. Jim Berryman author of 'A Sting in the Tale' was there too as was Sting's old economics teacher!

Jools Holland, Mark Knopfler and Jimmy Nail all gave heartfelt speeches about Sting who in reply made a tremendously warm speech about how fiercely proud he was of coming from Newcastle and what it meant to him. Sting also broke the bad news that the evening's concert at the Metro Arena had been postponed as he was still struggling with laryngitis, but that he was still going to play at the lunch.

Naturally, he couldn't sing, but at the rehearsals the previous day at Newcastle College, two of the students - Hannah Taylor and Andrew Mockler - had performed so well guesting on vocals, that Sting had invited them to stand in for him at the Variety Club. In effect, he was their bass player for the day! Hannah performed a warm and jazzy version of 'Walking On The Moon' accompanied by Sting on double bass and Gerry Richardson's band, and Andrew provided some gutsy vocals to 'If I Ever Lose My Faith In You', 'Every Breath You Take' and a tremendous version of 'All This Time'.

"It is hard to believe that 36 hours ago neither of us knew that any of this was going to happen. From the start of the lecture (at Newcastle College), it was an exciting feeling to have a musician as great and well respected as Sting, teaching us about the industry. When we both got up to sing, there was an amazing rush. This rush was not from the audience or the press, but from playing with the calibre of musicians, not just Sting but the rest of Gerry Richardson's big idea. To have Sting stood to our left whilst we sang was one of the best feelings we could ever have."
