Trivia

Stewart Copeland meets Miles Copeland at Mano's, then hires a PA and loads The Police's equipment onto the truck.

The musicians drive to Newport, Wales, for the first ever concert of The Police. The Police start to play at 10:00pm Sting and Stewart Copeland joined the Cherry Vanilla band for their two set. Both bands play two sets.

The Police drive home to London. Stewart is back at home at 07:00am the next day.

Although most old sources mention that this happened at the Stowaway Club only Sting's book Broken Music gets it right - it happened at Alexander's. This was confirmed by Stewart Copeland and another eyewitness...
