I could never sign up to that! As far as I'm concerned, I don't just want to be the singer's backing band, and no musician should be forced to play what they don't want to... Not only that, but I'm an awkward beggar who tends to hate most popular songs. Perhaps that's why I've only ever played in originals bands, or perhaps it's because I've never found one who wanted to play songs by Parliament, Primus and Praxis!

Like a MotherF***8& from Hell - The Datsuns

Medication - Spiritualized

That was a lunchtime treat when I worked in Covent Garden. That's where I bought my now-battered Wal back in 1990ish...

Need Bootsy from back in the day!

The main thing I remember about Happy Days was that despite the huge attempts by Henry to make the Fonz cool, he was saddled with that awful leather jacket with rounded collar and elasticated waist...

Fat Cat - Bootsy's Rubber Band

Let's Start The Dance - Hamilton Bohannon

Wicky Wacky Houseparty -Fatback Band

We've been cancelled! Headline band are ill... To be rescheduled (allegedly!).

Nostalgia - Penetration

Nasty Girl - Betty Davis

Maggotbrain - Funkadelic

Su Casa Es Mi Casa - Infectious Grooves

This bloke's technique is so rubbish he's wearing a sock as a fret wrap on an upside down bass!

Some geezer making up for poor technique with fret wrap and a Fodera...

We all know Dave! He's the one who thinks he's Elvis!

You tell 'em!

Quiet - Ian Dury and the Blockheads

Cousin Randy - Infectious Grooves

No Room - Athletico Spizz 80

Hospitalistische Kinder - Einstürzende Neubauten

Is that what it is? I though it was one of the Warwick Nate Mendel or whatever his name is painted purple...

Cool! I take it you're not Kim Clarke though? 😁 Saw y'all a couple of times in the 80s, both times with Kim on bass... (Just noticed she's got what looks like one of those crazy early Warwick basses, one for sale here at the moment!)

In a Rut - The Ruts
