Band history
Sting probably started to play in the Newcastle Big Band in early 1973.
A report in Courier (November 8, 1972) about the upcoming November 10 "All Night Rag" mentions Gerry Richardson on bass, so Sting was probably not a member yet.
According to Lance Liddle Sting was already a member in the first three months of 1973 - Lance Liddle was still a member then, but left before the band's LP was made.
