72 years young Sting rocks it at Radio 2's Preston in the Park 2024 for ttt

Hello music lovers and Hello hivers!

Tuesday for me on Hive means three tune tuesday...

It's Tuesday and of course that means it's inspiration time!!

The inspiration for this week is easy.

Apparently, the reality has set in and I am really an old fcuk, not that I needed being told mind you.

This weekend there was a music festival going on in the north of England

Some of the groups and musicians performing were Manic Street Preachers, Sugababes, Travis, Kim Wilde, Haircut100, Sister Sledge Snow Patrol and a fair few more.

The big headliner on Saturday was Sting ....

Today, I bring you 3 songs from that show on 8th September 2024


It is Tuesday and that of course means that it's #ttt or #threetunetuesday and so it's time to share some tunes with you!


@ablaze started #ttt 172 weeks ago! Go check out what it is all about on his last post Nick Cave's Ghosteen Part II for Three Tune Tuesday - Week 171 - win 5 HBI

Do go support @ablaze as without him we would not have this mental fun musical activity that you can win HSBI from! I am happy to be one of the TWELVE sponsors and it is kinda fun checking out music from all over this global village of ours!

Long live #ttt 😁🎼 and #threetunetuesday

The Police were one of the first bands I ever saw, and I confess I loved the raw energy of the early albums. That was when to me Sting was at his height.

The set did span songs of his career, yeah this old fluffer enjoyed the show, I might do another ttt next week!

Roxanne (The Police) β€” Sting Live in Budapest 2024-05-31

So I fibbed as is my want, I could not find a recording of this, so we have it from earlier in the summer!

This is one of my favourite songs from The Police maybe even the favourite...

Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night
Roxanne, you don't have to wear that dress tonight

I tell you what, if I am half as great shape at 72 that Sting is then I shall be well happy!

Which was your favourite (if any) ? Or is it not one I played?

Note: The three YouTube videos that I have shared are not owned by me, I am simply spreading great music on Hive.

I wish that you all have a brilliant rest of your week, and until we meet again enjoy your tunes 🎢🎡🎢

Thanks for visiting!
