Paris - France

Circus Hippodrome

GONG festival - where each member of GONG could also take part with his current project. Mike Howlett rehearsed with Stewart Copeland, Sting and Andy Summers in May to play here with the band name STRONTIUM 90. THE POLICE do not play.

After the concert Andy tells Sting and Stewart in a cheap Algerian restaurant that he's not interested in continuing with the STRONTIUM 90 project. Instead he'd like to join THE POLICE, but as a replacement for Henry Padovani.
