grandad Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) Found this old video on Youtube. It must be about 10 years old. [i]Nivram[/i] was composed by Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch and Jet Harris and I believe loosely based on [i]Barney's Blues [/i]by Barney Kessel. It appeared on the first Shadow's LP in 1961 which was my 1st ever LP on Xmas day that year. I still have it. I played in the group [i]Shindig[/i] for several years. It started late in the last century and went through various changes in line-up finally disbanding 3 or 4 years ago. Not too good a recording but there is a bass solo around 1.30ish.

Hobbayne Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I had to learn the bass solo in Nivram when I was depping for a sixties band. It was quite a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandad Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 I'm lucky that it's a tune stuck in my head having heard it over and over again aged 13 when it was on the only LP I had. Even so I don't think I play it exactly the same as Jet but as it's a Jazzy number you can [i]wander[/i] around the tune. I like a lot of Shadows numbers, especially the slower 'chillout' ones like 'Sleep Walk' and 'Blue Star' etc. Probably my age showing.
