Alun Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 After seeing him live last night with jazz painist Geoff Eales I have to urge all Upright enthusiasts to see him if at all possible. I've heard him before and knew he was good but his playing last night was unbelievable - tone, solos, groove - everything. Makes me sick Alun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took lessons off him many years ago and he was terrific. He used to play a six string Fender too, the almost guitar sized bass that is, with Barbara Thompson's "Paraphenalia" many moons ago and I think he was once in "Soft machine".

He did a dep for me once, years ago, when I had a gig with Jim Mullen. He was a real gentleman (just don't mention Robert Palmer to him).
