I had a great time session-ing for Bella McKendree. We played at The Islington and it was a really intimate show and vibe! Stay tuned for more gigs and her album! She’s putting the finishing touches on that and hopefully it’ll be ready and out soon!

Here’s some video of our quick rehearsal!

The United Kingdom played a really great show at The Half Moon in Putney! Thanks to Re Gina for the photos, they are awesome!

So for the the last two days, I tracked bass on 9 out 10 tracks for Bella McKendree’s new album! 2 DAYS FOR AN ALBUM…that’s some serious work! I laid down some groovy tracks and some pretty nice fills (my opinion) and the whole band sounded spectacular! I can’t wait for it to be finished!

P.s. for recording, if available, definitely use a 5 string bass! Those low B’s, C’s and D’s add so much depth and energy to songs when used sparingly! My 5 got me out of some tricky not stretches too…so that’s always a bonus when recording!

Take a look at my quick insta video of the studio!

Thanks to Bella for having me on the bass for her gig at Salon Noir in Soho! What a gig and what an intimate vibe! Loved it!

I found a Spyro Gyra vinyl in the local charity shop, I took a gamble on it…anyway, what a great decision that was!! My latest groove of the week is inspired by one of their tunes, ‘Leticia’.

One of the many dream teams!

THAT BASS THO!!!

I never once thought I’d be lucky enough to own one Alembic, let alone 4…?!

I don’t have a favourite and they are all tools for different jobs but let me say one thing, this 5 string just shakes the walls!!

This snap is from a rehearsal last night with a fairly new band that will get off the ground, I’m excited to see what’s going to happen!

So I have another #grooveoftheweek out, it’s a CHILLED vibe! I really hope you like it! After last week (and deffo this week), I’m going to need to have a chill moment! I have loads of gigs coming up so check out my events page to see where and what I’m up to!

Here’s another one of my grooves!

Even after getting it down, it’s still in my head driving me mad!
