  • Sting lead singer with The Police talks about spending time in Ireland and how he got his nickname. This interview features clips ('The Bed's Too Big Without You' and 'Can't Stand Losing You') from one of their Miami concerts in 1979.
    I noticed that there are not few interviews from that time (Zenyatta Mondatta), so I decided to post here. Enjoy!
    This episode of ‘Summerhouse’ was broadcast on 8 July 1980. The reporter is Áine O’Connor. All rights reserved to RTÉ Television.
