I’ve recorded a cool little snippet for instagram! I’m really getting into my upright bass groove and stride. Check out that awesome jacket too.

Here’s the jazz section in Sting’s tune, ‘An Englishman in New York’. It’s a banger.

I’m working on a few special things with my Alembic Classico! It’s such a magnificent piece of craftsmanship. I’m doing a lot of recording at the moment too! It’s all exciting stuff.

Check out this cool shot.

Here are some other pictures of the Classico, my dad is poking about in the electronics.

Charlyn played the 229 in Great Portland Street on 22nd January and it was absolutely wicked. We sounded super and there was a big crowd too. Footage to come soon but check out the stage setup before went on stage.

ALEMBIC CLASSICO

Never would I have thought I’d be the owner of an Alembic Classico electric upright bass but there you go. It’s honestly so magical and beautiful and I’ve not stopped playing it. I’ve got some videos on youtube to please check them out.

I hope to be gigging with it very soon, I’ll keep you posted. Time to get practicing anyway, yet another skill to learn…!

So I’ve had an eventful few days! I’ve done some recording with The Second Sons which is sounding out of this world. We have a gig, 23rd November – The Dublin Castle – Doors 7pm.Β 

I’ve performed a nice ‘chilled’ set at The Natural History Museum for the opening of the Ice Rink there with Emily Faye.

I’ve been busking all over the London Underground too and it’s nice to see my original music getting such kind comments.
