Thanks to Roz for finding this, the famous Top of the Pops Performance of “Cowboy Dreams” by Jimmy Nail (Paddy’s hit songs for Jimmy Nail paid for the Andromeda Heights studio), complete with Sting on bass and Paddy on guitar.
Marvellous discovery. Yippee Ai Ay indeed.
Wonderful!
I wonder if he and Sting got into an argument over who is the best Geordie songwriter of all time.
Nah, it’s obviously Alan Hull
What a line up. Mimed?
great find, i met Sting and Jimmy at the opening preview of the Last Ship in New York and they were delightful, spent some time discussing Newcastle United, The Unthanks and if NYC would understand Jimmy in the show. The show flopped even when Sting took over Jimmy’s role but its a great album.
