Can't fault his guitar playing and she's really looks like she's enjoying herself. Great stuff.

I have a friend that attended that Halifax gig, He also said she was excellent.

That's a great example, she's happy to just put a little riff in here and there, less is more kind of thing. Vocals are still brilliant too.

I just saw a clip and she says she wrote favourite mistake on the bass, lovely tasteful part too. I think many of her band have been around with her for a long time and like her play most instruments, I do wonder who plays what on the records but I wouldn't be surprised if everyone does a bit of everything.

You typed that as I did above, makes sense, almost like she fills in the gaps of the vocal parts with a bass fill.

I think bass is her main instrument or has been at times at least, I'm not sure what she instrument favours for writing or coming up with ideas for songs on, maybe all of them at different times.

I've been enjoying listening to her greatest hits and obviously that takes you down a rabbit hole of Wikipedia,YouTube etc. Her bass playing is really interesting in as much as she's very subtle, pumping 8ths she is not, and even with the country influence she doesn't really go for the root and 5th thing either. I like it, it's more of a melodic embellishment that she probably doesn't get the credit for. I didn't realise she enjoyed a Stingray either until seeing a clip of her live. Some great tunes, all sorts of genres and great vocals, keys, guitar and of course bass.

Oh we love it over here, it's standard practice to buy a house by a school and complain about the noise at playtime, buy a house next to a main road then start a campaign to stop it being used by lorries. The most common one is to buy a house with little or no parking and then leave notes on legally parked cars asking them not to park outside in "their space".

I saw the other day that permission has been given to build homes next to Donnington park, wait until the idiots complain about the airport, motor racing and music festivals after moving in. They should have to sign a legal document confirming that they've been made aware and no complaints can be lodged for at least 100 years.

At some point the Jools Holland and Glastonbury threads will merge. How many years of complaining about the mix or the acts do people endure before they realise it's not compulsory or legally binding to watch either of them?

The massive crowd appeared to enjoy it and that's what counts over a few grumpy bass players.

For me he never could.

Just don't watch or listen to the media, watch the acts and either enjoy them or don't, that's as deep as it goes for me. Maybe I'm becoming like our own member Douglas Dad3353 as the years go by, maybe I'll plant some radishes.

I think that's exactly what he wanted to do, put on a show. The majority of us here would be really happy if 100 people came to a gig and enjoyed it and wouldn't even think about that being the time to stop, if thousands of people go home happy after your gig still then why stop? If you are bringing joy to people I say carry on if you want.
