oldbass Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Saw these guys last nite in Portsmouth. Ok, Peter Andre, and before u ask I was working at the venue! ...anyway he's a good performer etc etc.. but his band were super tite and bang on the money. Anyone know who the bassist is?...big black guy with dreads, got the impression he was band leader etc...he had a huge very solid tone..kinda hit where it mattered, the whole thing sounded very good indeed, pretty exciting actually.

ivansc Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Rob Harris (Jamiroquai) worked for P.A. a long while ago. The man has great taste in players. Dont know who the current bassist is though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Steve Lewinson possibly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbass Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Just googled Steve Lewinson...yep I reckon that's the guy and looked like he was playing a Jazz style fiver....sounded huge. First No was 1999....I love it when a pro soul band kicks off with that style of uptempo No...with swirling keys and brass, almost takes the top of ur head off. Brilliant.

ratman Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I know a guy that used to drum for Peter Andre, Alex Toff. I'm not sure if he's still in that band but he's a hell of a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefrash Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 It's amazing how good these backing guys get. I saw Pink years ago at a festival. Probably my only experience of a 'pop' concert. Well.... Every single member were immense. Seem to remember the guitarist taking a 8 finger tapping solo. Jaws were dropped that day (and probably swinging). Isn't Paul turner doing a stint with will young?? 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike257 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Great shout on Pink's band, took the kids a few years ago, absolutely superb. Drummer is friggin' marvellous. The lady herself is a very impressive performer too, real talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kusee pee Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 When playing at Guildfest a few years ago, we took the time to watch Peter Andre. I was also very impressed with his band. Great musicians and good dance groove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Why is it surprising that some of the biggest and most bank-rolled pop acts hire the best players? Lol Also, Justin Timberlakes band is also redonk! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
