Sting on his musical The Last Ship: "I had never intended to be in the play"

After completing a 12-week tour in the U.K. and Ireland, Sting is bringing his Tony-nominated musical The Last Ship to Toronto for a limited run. He found some time in between rehearsals to stop by the q studio (while still dressed in his costume for the show) for a conversation with Tom Power. cbc.ca/1.5008579

John Matthias the yard at the end of his street was called the Neptune Yard, was owned by Swan Hunters. My dad did his apprenticeship there about 10 years before the play is set.

That's old school sadly. Now it's more Tech based and not Stings youth. Our kids will lament Hipster life!😎
