lojo Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 spot on He stood out back then, and nothing like this is timeless Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Keep Steppin' was one of the songs that got me to switch to 4 strings, Love it!!! Quote
chardbass Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 He supported Marcus the first time I saw him- Barbican Centre 98ish? "There's Nothing Like This" and Lenny Kravitz's "It Ain't Over til Its Over" were 2 of my favourite 'radio' basslines back in the day- pretty sure they were out at a similar time. Quote

He also featured on a Galliano tune on their second album, not really classic Galliano but Omar's voice is cool. Quote

risingson Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Jerry Meehan (Robbie Williams's most recent bass player) played on a few tracks with Omar that I enjoyed, he's a phenomenal bassist. Quote
MacDaddy Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 is that the guy who sold out Brixton Academy while unsigned? Quote
