Dominic interview + free CD + "Sacred Love" news
by Angeline Adams 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

Hi all, Today's copy of a Northern Ireland newspaper called the "Sunday Life" had an article about/mini interview with Dominic Miller (there's a local connection in that his mum is from here). He talks about the appearance he and Sting made at the Classical Brit Awards (which are televised on Thursday on ITV), the time when they performed in Belfast (I was there for the second night when they came here for the BND tour), and "Sacred Love". Here's the article, copied and pasted from the paper's website: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Publication Date: 01 June 2003 Dom goes down a 'strum' By John McGurk A WORLD class guitarist with Ulster connections will be in good 'Shape' tonight, at the top telly show for classical music talent. For Dominic Miller is starring at the Classical BRITS Awards show - with the help of the superstar he usually plays sidekick to . . . Sting! The 43-year-old, who releases his new solo album, Shapes, tomorrow, has played in front of millions, during his 14 years as Sting's leading guitar man. But for Dominic - whose mum, Diana, was raised in Belfast - nothing has been as frightening as performing at the Classical BRITS. He admitted: "It was the most nerve-wracking thing I have ever done - playing in the Royal Albert Hall, with the English Chamber Orchestra. "I was nervous about it because I am from the rock and pop world, and I was going into the classical arena, and playing their tunes." Lending moral and musical support for the occasion was Sting, who made a guest appearance, to sing their co-written song, Shape Of My Heart. Argentina-born Dominic said: "He is a real sport to do that. He is a real gentleman, and a good geezer." It was the ex-Police man who inspired Dominic's album - which contains inspired guitar interpretations of classical pieces - after giving him a book of Bach music. He added: "I am excited at the prospect of seeing what develops with this. But I am going to stay with the day job." And Dominic gave Sunday Life a sneak preview of what to expect from Sting's new album, Sacred Love, out in the autumn. "It's a great record. I actually think it is his best record yet - the energy level, the songwriting, and the way he is singing, and using words, within the melodies. "He is taking a few chances, like doing some Arabic-tinged music, and the album is also quite rocky." Why i feel so at home here GUITAR virtuoso, Dominic Miller, has a string of reasons to feel at home in Northern Ireland. But the number one reason to love Ulster is his mum! Dominic has a multi-cultural background - born and raised in Argentina, teenage years spent in the USA, and then adult life in London. But it is his mother, Diana Hynes, who makes him see Ulster as a spiritual home from home. He explained: "My mum was born in Ennis, Co Clare, but she was brought up in Belfast. "Her dad, my grandfather, was a great man, who served in the two World Wars. "Mum went to Cambridge University, and became a kind of debutante girl. She met my dad, an American called Barney Miller, there. They got married, and went to live in Argentina. "I finally made it to Belfast, when Sting's Brand New Day world tour played here, in 2000. "I remember it particularly well. It was in a small theatre (the Waterfront Hall), instead of the big venues we usually play in. And it also happened to be my birthday - March 21." The dad-of-four added: "I had never been to Belfast before. But I felt a strong affinity with the place, because my mother and grandfather had lived there. It really meant something to me. "I really would like to hang out there, sometime in the future. "Hopefully, it will happen. I wouldn't even need a work excuse to go there. I just want to come to Belfast again." jmcgurk@belfast telegraph.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The original article can be found here: http://www.sundaylife.co.uk/features/story.jsp?story=411390 I find what he said about "Sacred Love" encouraging.:) Angeline _________________________________________________________________ Tired of 56k?

POLICE question that was never asked before...
by DtmrCls＠aol.com 30 May '03

30 May '03

Hi I'm the one who's still trying to put a certain date to every picture of THE POLICE that was taken. In some POLICE files and the book "Visual documentary by Miles" you can see the group in Disneyland in March 1979, probably in California. My question: WHERE is that Disneyland? Thanks for your help, Dietmar

STUNG - Reminding the world THE POLICE rock!!! http://www.stunglive.com STUNG this week: Friday, May 30, 10pm-1am IRELAND'S 32 - 3920 Geary @ 3rd Ave., SF Saturday, May 31, 9-10pm BLACK & WHITE BALL State Building Courtyard - 505 Van Ness Ave., SF What a month May has been! (Is it even over yet?!?) Thanks to everyone who jammed with us along the Bay 2 Breakers route in SF last week. We had such a blast rocking out in the park with all 60,000 of you! Amazing weather, amazing freaky City people doing their thing in the Park, rocking out with STUNG and the music of the Police! Check out photos at http://www.stunglive.com This Saturday night we finally get to go to the Dance...er, well, the Ball, more specifically, the BLACK & WHITE BALL! We share a bill with some of music's greatest luminaries. My personal faves are: Joan Jett (who was managed by our Police Pal, Ian Copeland!), Morris Day, Dr. John, Poncho Sanchez, and local hero Les Claypool (who actually played with Stewart Copeland in Oysterhead year before last). We are so excited to be playing such a special event in SF! For the less "swankily inclined", you can catch us Friday night at IRELAND'S 32 in SF. We'll be doing new tunes and showing off the new flight suits and STUNG banner, give away some CD's, invite guests artists on stage, the general mayhem of a big STUNG gig! Don't miss it! Get STUNG! -Bee, Eric, John STUNG http://www.stunglive.com

Re: [Police] Japanese version?

Whatever it means, I am tired of the all the time I have spent over the years looking for what ends up being these great tracks. I don't understand the marketing strategies of things like two extra tracks on the Japanese version of All This Time. Sure makes life hard on modest collectors....
