In odd circumstances IIRC. [/quote] I don't know the exact cause but I seem to recall that it was due to an unknown pre-existing heart condition. I re-joined the band as bass player last year, I had previously played guitar for them for about 4 years but parted company after a band reshuffle around 2009. Anyway on a more spooky note, not too long after i started playing bass with the band, I went to a funeral of a childhood friend and after the burial, I turned round to walk away from the graveside and there in front of me was the grave of Patrick Waite the former bass player for the band. That felt really wierd for a moment. Jazzyvee Edited January 9, 2014 by jazzyvee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I thought they had stopped playing in the 1980's I always thought they were a 1 hit wonder band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzyvee Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Yeah they had stopped playing for a good few years. I'm not sure when they started back gigging as a band, but I joined them initially in 2004 and did some gigs in UK, Europe and a 2 week tour in California and Arizona. There are only two of the original band members in the band today. Dennis Seaton ( Lead Vocalist), Michael Grant (Keyboards). Certainly Pass the Dutchie was a huge international hit for them and probably is, to date, their biggest hit. But they have had other singles that did well for them so even if they were seen as "one hit wonder" most bands never achieve that one hit. Anyway all are welcome to the gig if it's your thing.

jazzyvee Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 We had a really good rehearsal for this gig last night at one of the creative arts colleges in brum with a full sized stage. It went really well. We recorded most of the set into protools and had a 4 camera video shoot of the whole thing by students on media courses. Looking forward to the gig on Sunday now.
