Hogan's Heroes.

[Jazzneck]

Went to see Albert Lee with Hogan's Heroes at the Haverhill Arts Centre last night.

The band, as usual were great - good sound, excellent musicianship but most of all Brian Hodgson and Peter Baron gave a masterclass in how to be a perfect rhythm section.
Simple, understated, on the button, bass and drums playing for the song and allowing the rest of the band the freedom and space to sing and perform.
Tight as a duck's chuff - some of the more complex players in the world could do worse than going to see them to understand that bass life does not have to be compicated.
A thoroughly enjoyable night out - catch 'em if you can.

Yup, at last a blue moon shone.
And, just for interest, Brian Hodgsons rig looked a little like your avatar.

Nah, live about an hour away on t'coast, but I used to rehearse quite a bit in a Nissen hut on the corner of Ridgewell airfield (Tilbury Juxta Clare) and my parents are in Ashen churchyard.
