STEWART COPELAND

So the rumour is true...

THE POLICE EXPERIEINCE- LIVE IN TRINIDAD!!

What better way to warm up for our next home show in Hermosa Beach (April 18th- by the way) than by flying half way around the world and playing a warm up gig for a couple thousand of our newest, closest friends on a tropical island!!

OK- Let's do it!!

Saturday, April 4th
APRILFEST @ Pier 1
Chaguaramas, Trinidad
Show starts at 9pm!!


We're packing the suntan oil for this one!!


YO!!


-m-

On behalf of everyone here, you sir, suck.

J/K of course- rock it in the Tropics!!! Film a little island ELTSDIM parody or something!

Sounds neat! Hopefully you'll have time to take a quick, cheap turboprop ride over to Tobago, which is a lot nicer than Trinidad for some snorkeliing, taking a glass-bottom boat tour (ask for Brother Mitch) and some time at the beach.

Be mindful of your surroundings though as crimes against tourists has increased there in recent years. I was there back in 2002 for a conference about a week after an American was murdered there during Carnival. Apparently, he had been robbed by a pick-pocket thief and went after the guy to get his wallet back.

Next time you gig in such a place, could you give us a couple of years' notice?

But flippin' heck. Nice work if you can get it. Enjoy it, sir!

That's a grim situation conroy, and a tragic incident. But in defense of holiday destinations everywhere, got to say this.

I once asked a guy who had been guiding me around a town in Tanzania, 'How safe is it at night, if I am out on my own.' His reply 'You are from London. Behave like this is London - keep to well lit streets, and if you are mugged, they just want your money, so hand it over.' I wasn't ever mugged, but he had a good point. Same thing everywhere. I wasn't mugged in Zanzibar - has happened twice in London.

thanks for the warning Conroy-

the thing is with these trips though is that there isn't enough time to go out and put oneself in danger- we fly in, rest, gig, and then leave so to make it back to L.A. in time for Sunday dinner.


I'll be lucky if I can just go and get in the water for a few minutes.


See you all April 18th!!

-m-

Have fun

Make sure you play Every Likkle Ting

Better yet maybe someone might be able to play pan mmmm

Great idea, Ska! I'd love to hear some Police covers on steel drums. Hmm.....

Have a great gig, Mike!

Any other exotic locales planned in the future?

YAY Mike! Congrats!
