Inspired by Sting’s play of the same name, The Last Ship draws upon his memories of growing up in the shadow of the Swan Hunters Shipyard in Wallsend and explores themes such as the complexity of relationships, family, community and the passage of time.

Guest artists on The Last Ship with roots in the North East include Brian Johnson, Jimmy Nail, The Unthanks, The Wilson Brothers and Kathryn Tickell. The album is produced by Rob Mathes (Sting, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Lou Reed, Carly Simon) and engineered and mixed by Donal Hodgson.

The play, which Sting hade been working on for nearly three years, made its debut on Broadway in 2014 and is a collaboration with Tony Award winners Joe Mantello (director; Wicked, Other Desert Cities), John Logan (writer; Red, Skyfall)) and Brian Yorkey (writer; Next to Normal). The Last Ship tells the story of the demise of the shipbuilding industry in 1980s Newcastle which, for so long, shaped the city, its development, and its community.
