Sumner was born in Wallsend, near Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England[1], to Audrey Cowell and her husband, Eric Sumner. He is the youngest of four children and has a brother, Philip, and two sisters, Angela and Anita. His father managed a dairy, and as a boy he would often assist him with the early morning milk delivery rounds. Sumner was raised in the Roman Catholic tradition, due to the influence of his paternal grandmother, who was from an Irish family.
He attended St. Cuthbert's Grammar School in Newcastle upon Tyne, and then the University of Warwick in Coventry, which he left after only one term. During this time, he would often sneak into nightclubs like the Club-A-Go-Go. Here, he would watch acts such as Jack Bruce and Jimi Hendrix who would later influence his music. After jobs as a bus conductor, a construction labourer and a tax officer, he attended Northern Counties Teachers' Training College, which later became part of Northumbria University, from 1971 to 1974. He then worked as a teacher at St. Paul's First School in Cramlington for two years.
From an early age, Sumner knew that he wanted to be a musician. His first music gigs were wherever he could get a job, performing evenings, weekends, and during vacations from college and teaching. He played with local jazz bands such as the Phoenix Jazzmen, the Newcastle Big Band, and Last Exit.

OMG This has reminded me of a Day trip many years ago when Sting first wrote this song for a short documentary to be shown at a theme park and the fragile places like Figi (oops if I haven't spelt that right... Eik !!?) I was with (knowing now) probably the 1st and only true love of my love !! Blimmey opened up many close and heart felt memories !!
Just thought I'd share that with the world of Youtube !!
