Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC4 Sun From: doc.tom Date: 25 Apr 14 - 11:55 AM Just watch the audience when The Wilsons hit it - they've never heard anything like it! |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC4 Sun From: Tattie Bogle Date: 25 Apr 14 - 08:50 PM Saw most of it when it was on before, albeit late night in bed and nearly asleep. Worth watching again, although at times the instrumentation was less than subtle. Kathryn Tickell was nearly drowned out by all the rest. |

Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC4 Sun From: GUEST,John Date: 28 Apr 14 - 03:56 PM Great show... some fantastic songs and music of Sting, played by some excellent singers and musicians. But for me the powerful sound that the Wilsons produce, brought life to the overall performance and just to hear one legend(Sting)credit another(Bellamy)for "Big Steamers" was priceless. |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC4 Sun From: GUEST Date: 29 Apr 14 - 02:50 AM "Dead Mans Boats" - great stuff. |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC4 Sun From: GUEST Date: 29 Apr 14 - 06:46 AM QI loved it but the traditional folkies I wa4ched it with were not impressed with sting and nis voice. Thought they were well writ3n s8ngs myself |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC4 Sun From: nutty Date: 29 Apr 14 - 12:13 PM Correction - Dead Man's Boots - which, like the job, are left vacant when their owner dies. I thought it was a brilliant production - what an amazing wordsmith he is. |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC4 Sun From: GUEST,DTM Date: 29 Apr 14 - 04:47 PM Great concert! The song that is being left out the play ("A Convenient Arrangement"?) was the best of them all, IMO. Quality performances by all on board. |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC4 Sun From: GUEST,nYGELgOOSE Date: 29 Apr 14 - 05:21 PM wasn't sure about it - havnt been a huge fan of Sting since I was a kid , I loved the Police - but he's not been someone i'd listen to much in recent years. Some of it I liked some of it I didn't, some lovely songs , some of it a bit too showbiz - His stuff on Rogues Gallery and Son Of Rogues Gallery is good though - and he has a great voice. |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC4 Sun From: GUEST,Helen Date: 30 Apr 14 - 03:14 AM Is this show going to be released on dvd? it was fantastic as I am sure the Broadway production will be. |
Subject: Sting - When the last ship sails From: Bonzo3legs Date: 26 Jul 14 - 10:34 AM When the last ship sails Excellent concert recently on BBC TV, not quite sure why the Wilson family did goat impersonations during their song, but provided good back up vocals to Sting's wonderful songs. |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: GUEST,Linda Date: 26 Jul 14 - 02:23 PM The Wilsons Rock BAAAAAAAA NONE!!!!!they enhanced every song they were apart of. Peter Bellamy's "Big Steamers" was Brilliant.... |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: GUEST,Frank Date: 27 Jul 14 - 10:19 AM Could not agree you more Linda... going to see the Wilsons tonight at the Grimsby folk club. |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: The Sandman Date: 27 Jul 14 - 12:52 PM the wilsons are brilliant, bonzo 3 legs is a philistine. |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: GUEST Date: 14 Apr 15 - 02:27 PM The Show will be aired again this Friday April 17th, on BBC4 at 11pm. |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: Steve Gardham Date: 14 Apr 15 - 02:36 PM Keep flagging this up till Friday or I'll forget. |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: GUEST,Colin Date: 15 Apr 15 - 10:48 AM Sting - story telling at it's best. The album is great, but this show really brings the songs to life. A 'FANTASTIC' must see show. |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: Bonnie Shaljean Date: 17 Apr 15 - 05:40 AM reeeeeeeeeeeFRESH |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: Steve Gardham Date: 17 Apr 15 - 04:57 PM Ta. If I can stay awake till then I'll watch it again. |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: GUEST,Jim Date: 17 Apr 15 - 07:52 PM 'FANTASTIC' - Great songs well delivered. |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: GUEST,Selby Date: 18 Apr 15 - 04:08 AM I read that the show lost 6 million dollars on Broadway and has closed. Sad to open on Broadway and not be successful but perhaps not the best descion, I would have thought provincial in UK then the West End and then Broadway. Keith |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: Bonzo3legs Date: 18 Apr 15 - 06:00 AM When the last ship sails |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: Mr Red Date: 18 Apr 15 - 12:51 PM I saw the BBC programme doing the songs from the show last night. The credits for that were long, which doesn't come cheap. Sting's performance was superb. The cast on the programme was astounding. The Wilsons, Katheryn Tickel and Jimmy Nail to mention but a few. But even sophiticated American audiences would find Tyneside a wee bit unfamiliar. It was recorded in New York. The TV programme would have been a bit of a way to recoup some money. |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: Will Fly Date: 18 Apr 15 - 12:56 PM Was there any sort of preview or opening in the UK prior to Broadway? I thought the BBC programme was absolutely excellent in every respect but - as you say - I could see New York audiences not responding to it. The programme was, of course, songs from the play - and the actual play itself may not have been as good as the song set. Anybody see it? |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: breezy Date: 18 Apr 15 - 04:10 PM it was ill advised and too ambitious to launch on Broadway, far too clever for that clientelle. So someone made a huge judgemental error and it may have beeen G S himself who got carried away with his own image of self importance I too believe it should have been nurtured established in the Uk and then the West End. It surpasses all other west end musicals in quality of musical and lyrical material Great songs , well sung , catchy, appealing to emotions. I loved it from last year , I have the de luxe. The Ballad of the Great Eastern , though not listed on the show is a masterpiece of a folk song with challenging musical arrangement . It doesnt matter whether you 'like 'Sting or not , the songs are top notch Beats Les Mis anytime. stuff the 'traddies' they are too narrow minded to appreciate it The Last Ship must rule the waves, it must not sink |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: Steve Gardham Date: 18 Apr 15 - 04:16 PM Which particular 'traddies' are you wanting to stuff, breezy? Most of the traddies I know and some of the above thought it was great. |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: Marje Date: 18 Apr 15 - 05:58 PM I'm quite a traddy and I thought it was great, although perhaps an unwise choice for a US audience. I loved the songs and the delivery, but I agree with the poster who commented on the Wilsons' strange imitation of Bellamy's bleating style. Jimmy Nail is a natural, and Sting himself was brilliant. |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: GUEST,Chris Date: 18 Apr 15 - 08:03 PM Sting will be singing the songs from the 'Last Ship' at the Sage Gateshead this coming Friday 24th and Saturday 25th April. |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: r.padgett Date: 19 Apr 15 - 03:31 AM The tv show gets better the more times I see it ~ repeat on Catch up and saw a couple of times after being given a copy from first time round! This was a great performance and Wilson's have a distinctive way of singing that fits Solo performances of ballads by Sting and Jimmy and loved Katherine Tickell's pipes (whichever!) Really sorry that the play/musical did not work out and maybe a relaunch from UK may get better response Ray |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: breezy Date: 19 Apr 15 - 01:29 PM The 'traddies' that didnt like it. Hope its a great night at the Sage in Geaytseheed. go sting go How is it being performed . solo or with ???? Hope someone does a revue on here or its gets some coverage |
Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: FreddyHeadey Date: 19 Apr 15 - 03:32 PM "To benefit the Sage Gateshead 10th Birthday Appeal, Sting will perform songs from 'The Last Ship', his latest album and new Broadway musical of the same name.... ...Sting will be joined onstage by many of the region's best loved musicians including fiddle and Northumbrian pipe player Kathryn Tickell and The Wilson Family from Billingham. ... These will be the only UK performances of their kind." sagegateshead.com/event/sting-24-04-15/ |

Subject: RE: Sting.when the last ship sails-BBC From: ChrisJBrady Date: 30 Apr 15 - 08:01 PM Reposted - previous post was 'lost / removed / deleted / ...." - why? http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b03n2gh6/sting-when-the-last-ship-sails Sting performs songs from his album The Last Ship in an intimate live performance recorded at the Public Theatre, New York. Inspired by the shipbuilding community of Wallsend in the north east of England where Sting was born and raised, the songs form part of his Broadway play. For his first new work in a decade he and his band, many of whom hail from the north east, are joined by actor and singer Jimmy Nail. |
