Absolutely superb, but the 50 minutes run time eliminates too much stuff. You can’t really call it the story of the Police with this many chapters missing.

I would have preferred a less choppy Message In A Bottle and Every Breath done as a power singalong to end on robs it of it’s sinister creeping tone, but all the other tracks were performed superbly and where they do deviate from the originals, it’s with positive results, especially on Every Little Thing.

So the only real downside is the 50 minute run time. If you’re hoping to hear Invisible Sun, Synchronicity II, Spirits in the Material World, Wrapped Around Your Finger, Walking On the Moon, De Do Do Do, Bring On The Night, Driven to Tears….adjust your expectations. It’s a superb set, but a short one.

What a great show. Angus is a consummate performer with buckets of talent and the musicians (including him) are all fantastic. It was a fabulous show with all my favourite songs. Night Owl Productions host a number of great shows with much talent on display. We have now been to three different shows and recommended them to everyone. Angus has been a hit with Elton John and Billy Joel as well, thanks for the wonderful experience.

Angus is a brilliant singer and his voice sounded just like Sting's last night. He was incredible!
This show was top notch, the band played with so much energy, the music was amazing. Angus was the best performer of The Fringe in my view (from all the shows I have been to see in the last 2 weeks!) Absolutely loved it! I'm a fan of The Police & Sting so all the tunes chosen were the best too! Thank you!!!

What a show , three very talented musicians give perfect support to a wonderful singer . They take you back to the early days of the Police and the corresponding memories of that era . A really good story , well told with dynamism and top class musicality . A typical Night Owl show . Brilliant.

A hugely fun hour with the charismatic Angus Munro (whose voice got better throughout the show) and band (particularly the drummer). Not a typical tribute ACT (trying to sound exactly ice the original icons) but a eespectful tribute TO The Police, with plenty of anecdotes and audio/video clips scattered throughout
