Nostalgic fans of The Police yearning for another Regatta de Revival tour will have been overjoyed to have caught Sting’s latest threesome live on Tuesday night at Musgrave Park in Cork.

Given that the effervescent Sting releases a new album virtually every year, it’s quite incredible that he finds time for a “classic hits” tour like this — where he treats himself, and the rest of us, to a trip down memory lane.
