Leeds,Cardiff,Bristol and London Tutors needed

[BenTunnicliffe]

Hi,

I'm a working bassist currently on a cruise gig and been working professionally for quite a few years now and from November 12th I have 4weeks of shore leave.

I'm just after some genuine recommendations for inspiring, well accomplished electric players in Leeds, London, Bristol and Cardiff as I'll be in those areas at some point from November 11th and thought it would be a shame to not pick up what I can.
As of yet I haven't decided when I'll be in each city so could work around any dates any teachers are available except that I'll be in Cardiff between the 22nd and 26th of November.

My main areas of interest are the between-the-lines aspects in music, improvising and reacting within a context, developing absolute time and how to move away from that and then just general technique and fluidity.
I do also have a huge interest in modern arranging and production techniques alone with including effects etc to work within highly electronic genres although that's more of an afterthought than anything else.

I've had lessons from non-bass players on various occassions to work on the above so would be more than happy to hear recommendations that move outside just bass players if anyone can help.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Look down this thread for JonCaulfield72 and Cardiff.

He is an AWESOME teacher, what Jon can't do on a bass isn't worth knowing! He has fabulous skills. I really look forward to my lessons with him and always feel inspired and fired up to be a better bassist.

In Bristol, look up Matt Downer (http://www.matthewdowner.com) - his number's on his site. He's my tutor and he's a superb and truly professional player and a really top bloke to boot.
