evilLordJuju Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) I'm pleased to announce the latest interview from www.flyguitars.com, with rock bassist [url="http://www.flyguitars.com/interviews/mickhawksworth.php"]Mick Hawksworth[/url]. I put this in the gear section, because the interview is mostly about Mick's bass gear... [i]Mick Hawksworth has been performing and recording for over 40 years, in a long line up of bands, and as a session player. In the 60s he was noted for his "technically brilliant basslines" after he formed the short-lived [/i][i]Andromeda[/i][i] with Attack frontman John Cann. Their sound was akin to Cream one moment, The Who the next, and perhaps Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd after that.[/i] [i]Over the next decade he played bass in [/i][i]Fuzzy Duck[/i][i], Toefat, Jimmy McCullough Band, Landslide, Charley Horse, Shanghai, Human Orchestra, and [/i][i]Ten Years Later[/i][i] recording with the likes of Alvin Lee, Mickey Jones, Mathew Fisher (ex-Procol Harum), Gilbert O'Sulivan and more besides.[/i] Check out the [url="http://www.flyguitars.com/interviews/mickhawksworth.php"]Mick Hawksworth interview[/url] (and for a chance to win an Andromeda CD, enter my [url="http://forums.vintageguitars.org.uk/showthread.php?t=2360"]Mick Hawksworth competition[/url]) And finally, just as a taster, here's Mick playing his fretless RD artist (through his 1970 Acoustic 360) with his current band Tres Geezers. I went down to see them In February of this year, and filmed this. Watch out for the the bass solo, in the middle.
