The Police played here before on 1979-09-14.
Oliver Gray interviewed Andy Summers backstage:
Summers: I did actually grow up in Bournemouth, but I left there early on and went to London. I played around Bournemouth for a short while. I used to know Robert Fripp and Mike Giles. I went to London and played with a guy called Zoot Money, who first came to prominence with the Big Roll Band. We did play in Bournemouth and Southampton a couple of times but in those days we played every night of the week, year in, year out.
Gray: Were you in any local bands before moving to London?
Summers: No, I wasn’t, I went to London fairly early on. The band was pretty popular, we were on TV a lot and we made quite a lot of money out of it, actually. So I’ve always felt I was destined for great things, frankly.
Gray: And then you worked with Kevin Ayers?
Summers: Well actually, Zoot and I were in the Animals for a while. I stayed in America for about five years. Eventually Zoot and I ended up in the same band again, playing with Kevin Coyne, and then we also both went on to play with Kevin Ayers. So we’ve had quite a lot of karma.
Gray: Looking at the scenes here tonight, you’re obviously at the very top of the tree, aren’t you?
Summers: Well, I’m afraid I am.
Gray: Do you have any regrets?
Summers: Absolutely none. I mean, it would be dishonest to say one goes entirely through life with no regrets at all. I certainly regret buying a pair of Y-fronts from Woolworths the other day. I’m feeling the pinch a bit right now. No, I’ve always enjoyed my life in music, and it’s very gratifying to be at this point. Of course, really, when you take everything into consideration, it was inevitable.
Gray: Any hankerings for returning to your home town?
Summers: No. I do go down to Bournemouth once in a while and feel fairly nauseous, and then I return to London and feel better.
