New UK bass podcast just started - conversations with bass players

[lawriemacmillan]

Euan Mushet - Scottish bass player of Indie/Electronica band Echo Arcadia has started a regular podcast featuring informal bass-related conversation with a different featured bass player each episode. I happen to be the bass player in Episode 1.

It's not strictly an interview format, but Euan asks me about my career experience and my philosophies on accompanying an eclectic range of artists. I also discuss my work ethic, a little about equipment and general anecdotes on my feelings of being a full-time musician.
I tried to keep my (occasionally long!) responses relevant to bass players, but other musicians may benefit from or simply enjoy some of things we chatted about.
This was a refreshing experience for me, and I enjoyed recalling what got me into music and playing bass, what I feel has helped me develop through the years and what maintains my enthusiasm. And in return I learned a bit more about Euan, who's an exciting and creative player with an infectious positive energy.
