iamtheelvy Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Was hoping to catch him on the musical War of the Worlds tour next year. Such a shame. A major musical legacy left in his wake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 This is the blog about the South East Bass Bash 2016, where we had Herbie as a guest, and we even interviewed him for Bass Guitar Magazine. SEBB 2016 by Silvia Bluejay When I have a moment I'll try to find the published article and possibly also publish the audio of our interview. RIP Herbie, you are one of a kind. 💗 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51m0n Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Really sad about this. Loved Herbie, super chap, looked after Pluxtheduck on a few Rockschools, and was always so generous with his time and knowledge. RIP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chezz55 Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 That’s sad news indeed. Saw Herbie Flowers live with ‘Sky’ when the first album was released. His bass guitar playing with ‘Sky’ was understated but essential to the coherence of the band. RIP Mr Flowers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Mark Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 (edited) I loved that man. Herbie's son Nick attended my secondary school for a while and Herbie started my bass playing passion by lending me a Fender bassman combo and bass guitar for a few months until I could afford my own. Meeting him 40 years later at the 2016 SE Basshchat get together was very emotional for me; as is the news of his passing.

Here are a few of my photos from that day. Herbie was such a fabulous speaker - it really was an honour to have him with us that day. Apart from being very witty and charming, he was also so generous with his time... A few months afterwards, he invited me and Mrs Silverfoxnik to see him perform at The Dome in Brighton, one of his 'Herbie Flowers Jazz Breakfast'. During what was an amazing jazz show, he and the band did two stunning arrangements of David Bowie songs - 'Space Oddity' and 'Where Are We Now', which were absolutely sublime. RIP Herbie and thank you for all the amazing music.. 🙏 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
