ShergoldSnickers Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 I was given a ticket to see Kate Rusby at Hull City Hall last night, and was bowled over by both the playing and sound from Kevin McGuire. A beautifully articulate sound with plenty of weight in the lower registers without any boom or boxiness. Gorgeous. Not normally my staple listening, but I'm really glad I went, and I enjoyed the music from the rest of the band and Kate as well. Live music wins out every time. Quote
jakenewmanbass Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Love Kate Rusby... High on a hill is a fave! Quote
ficelles Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Kate's great, one of my favourite singers / musicians. And she always has a good band with her. Must catch a show when she's down this way... ficelles Quote
derrenleepoole Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Saw Kate earlier this year and she and her hubby and band did a sterling show. One of the best gigs I've seen. Annoyingly I had recorded the gig on my Zoom H2 and it came out brilliantly... I only went and corrupted the files :/ Quote

gjones Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 I know Kevin. He also plays with Eddie Reader and Karen Matheson, among others. I'll pass on your comment I'm sure it will be appreciated. Quote

The kind of player that shows how expressive and delicate - as well as powerful - the double-bass can be. Not said lightly. Quote
