OldGit Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Chatting to the lad in the phone shop this week he mentioned he may get a jazz band for his wedding next year. So we nattered about wedding music, etc and he mentioned his mate has a band that does all sorts. Of course being a local muso I asked who was in the band "Mark and his cousin who plays bass. His parents had that restaurant on North rd, Palladinos. I think his cousin has played with some famous people" Yes folks, Pino Palladino is playing his wedding Cheap too I explained who Pino had played with - like the Who at the Superbowl this year, Paul Young etc.. He was surprised but not that impressed Of course if you are 21 it's all ancient history ... Quote

Is Mark Pino's cousin or brother? I wasn't sure. I have to go back today so I'll see if I can arrange a table at the reception for Basschatters to sit, arms crossed and say "Pino bleedin Paladino? huh! I can play Mustang Sally like that so how come[b] he[/b] gets the 'oo gig" OK? Quote
Bilbo Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 I once did a wedding with Bobby Orr. Who? says everyone. Bobby had, amongst others, played with Benny Goodman, Joe Harriot and, at that time, had done every Bond soundtrack since Dr. No. He could even play Donna Lee on a PENCIL....... (Yes, I saw him do it. He put it in his mouth, against his teeth, tapped the pencil with his fingernails and shaped the notes with his mouth. And it swung like the clappers Quote
davidmpires Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 my Wedding is in October and I don't have a band yet, can you get him to play my wedding too? Quote

crez5150 Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) My function band has [url="http://www.craigblundell.net/"]Craig Blundell[/url] on drums.... maybe not as famous as Mr Paladino but he is playing with some serious acts King King and David Cross to name a couple, he's also Roland's main clinician for V-drums so you've probably seen him in action somewhere.... Anyway I bet Pino won't get any grief for being in a wedding band..... especially when he play's 'Lady in Red'.... eh...eh... I've also just found out we're doing a wedding where we be playing with 'The Script'..... should be interesting Edited March 30, 2010 by crez5150 Quote
dave_bass5 Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 When i was playing keyboards back in the 90's Spy Austin was our bass player. Bloody good he was. Quote

bluesparky Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Me!! My band is playing, only 4 songs, but it's kinda a tradition now after we've played at the other members' weddings and it's pretty much expected by everyone now!! Only 6 weeks to go... Quote

molan Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) I once 'duetted' on bass with Pino, lol. I was trying out an amp at the Bass Centre in Wapping and, God knows why, I was playing the part from Wherever I Lay My Hat (Paul Young version). Next thing I knew I could hear someone soloing over the top of the stuff I was playing. First thought was that whoever it was had been 'showing off' a bit but his playing was seriously nice & sooo much better than mine. I stuck my head up over the wall of amps & cabs to see Pino sitting on the other side. We smiled at each other & nodded and I quickly ducked out of sight Edited March 30, 2010 by molan Quote

He goes on and on and on about it down the pub ;-) I saw The Ox in the old BC once, and on another occasion Mark king. It was early days for my playing so i didnt dare pick anything up while they were there. Quote
