...and probably some more 'unmentionables'!
In reference to the surname thing- Sumner was his mother's maiden name and Dicken her married name. I've never really seen anything being mentioned by Bernard about his father and I surmise that he left the scene after Bernard was born or died when Bernard was very young. The Albrecht name was pinched off a piece of equipment Bernard used when he was working at Cosgrove Hall Animation. As for the Sting link....maybe a very tenuous link as far as being related goes..Depends on whether Bernard's mum is an ex-Geordie.
Did some more digging around some old clippings(History In Cuttings Pt.2) and discovered Sumner was Bernard's mum's married name from her first marriage, Dicken from the second. Perhaps as time went on he became more confident sticking to the former for himself.
Had to laugh..went on another NO website onetime.No not Joy Division Central,but it listed all names that Barney has been credited under.Some cd had him down as Barney Rubble!!
