ABOUT
I played bass in a couple of bands in the 60's. Made two records on Columbia. Joined a band in Germany and played clubs in many parts of the country plus several places in France. Played mainly blues and soul but threw in some pop stuff for the early sessions..after midnight it was rock / soul / blues..usually finished about 04.00 hrs
Stayed for about two years.
Returned to UK. Stopped playing in 1969.
Fast forward to mid 2014.
Took up playing bass again after losing my wife/soul-mate on advice of my muso pals. Been sitting in with a local band playing 60's covers. Did my first live gig since 1969 last October at our local Comm Hall for a party...Still trying to commit the numbers to memory, been a long time... getting there.
This band has now split but I would like to continue playing....BTW, I don't do vocals..
UPDATE 2022
Now bass guy for the last 4 years in, what is my opinion, one of East Anglia's best Rock covers Band...Jokin' Apart
