+ Cherry Vanilla
+ The Police
Above: Cherry
Vanilla's song about Liverpool inspired by this gig at Eric's.
I made the mistake of
saying that The Police acted as Cherry Vanilla's backing band. I was put in my place by
Zecca Esquibol, Cherry Vanilla's keyboard player.
No, No and NO! How many times must I correct this? Sting and Stewart joined me and guitarist Louie Lepore to be Cherry's backing band, NOT the entire Police. Please read Sting's book for details. Below is a pic of me and Sting on stage in Newcastle with Louie's guitar neck and hand between us. Also, note the references to me and Louie in verse 1 of "Liverpool".
Well, there's no chance I'm going to read Sting's book but I'm sure Gordon backs up Zecca's story. There's a bit more detail in this very entertaining piece from www.punk77.co.uk read it here
Note the references to
Louie: Louie left his shoes at the Lion Hotel
(Lion Hotel in Warrington, where Cherry Vanilla played the previous evening)
Zecca Zecca getting cruised every night
Stewart (Copeland): Stewart said this is where the Beatles had played
and Sting Sting was eating lunch from a box
