Johngh Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Great photo of Glenn Hughes and Andy Fraser, two great bass players. They have just interviewed each other for Bass Player Magazine. Should be a great article. [attachment=109320:g & a.jpg] Quote
debwilliams Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Saw this pic via FB the other day, will look forward to reading the interview. Anyone heard if BCC are touring this year? Joe Bonamassa has just finished a run of 54 dates so he's now (possibly) free although GH has mentioned BCC recording their third album so that's sounding more likely. Quote

[/quote] I don't think BCC have any touring plans this year, although Glenn has been writing for the new Album. I just wish Glenn would get his finger out and do another solo album, it's been ages since he did F.U.N.K. Quote

I didn't really fancy going to any of his recent UK dates with Fish but I will definitely go and see BCC next time they come to the UK. In fact they might be the perfect crowd to sing me a lullaby before I retire for the evening . Something from the first album I think. Quote
Stag Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Fraser, what a player. So much feel and that lushround Gibson tone on all the Free stuff... Quote
JTUK Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 LIked them both... interesting and funky and they stood out amongst the crowd...IMO. Shame they haven't been that prolific. or maybe that is a good thing. Quote
Roland Rock Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Listening to the bassline on "A Little bit of Love" affected me greatly as a fledgling bass player. His use of space and timing. My favourite rock player. Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 I got meself a 2nd hand EB3 from this very site, care to guess why? Quote
spongebob Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 A guy I used to work with was in the same class as Andy Fraser at secondary school! Both great players as well. Quote
yorick Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Isn't Andy Fraser playing with TOBI at the Isle of White festival this year? Quote
simonc61 Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Hi Yorick, yes he is - on the Garden Stage. I met Tobi a couple of months ago down in Devon and interviewed him for a magazine article I was planning to write. I see on Tobi's FB page that Andy has just arrived in the UK and is working with Tobi at the moment on his new album. I also heard rumours of a Free reunion, with Tobi being touted as the Kossoff replacement - again, all rumours. Quote
simonc61 Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Andy Fraser and Tobi being interviewed here http://www.glastonburyfm.co.uk/ sometime after 7pm tonight. Quote

Marvin Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Hell's teeth! I'm out tonight Fraser has been seriously overlooked IMO. He puts down a great groove and uses space brilliantly, unlike some of his more hailed counterparts of the time. Quote
simonc61 Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Just seen this as well - https://www.facebook.com/events/163968737066907/ Quote
steantval Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 [quote name='leftyhook' timestamp='1338683345' post='1678115'] My influence number 1 bar non - Andy Fraser [/quote] I second that, I play in a Free tribute band and just love playing Andy Frasers lines and the cracking solo in Mr Big. Quote

Joe Bonamassa is doing 4 dates in London in March 2013 so hopefully they will hook up for BCC. Will def be in my diary, to add to the Joe B dates. Quote
Johngh Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 New Black Country Communion album set for worldwide release on 30th of October. No title set for it yet Quote
debwilliams Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 One for my "must have" list. Thanks for the update. Quote
