27 Bass Instincts
A show concentrating on bass-players and playing both solo works and work with the groups they made famous 🙂 This first show includes Paul McCartney, Mark King, John Entwistle, Geddy Lee, Dave Pegg, Jeff Berlin, Patrick Scales, Tony Levin, Jaco Pastorious and Rick Kemp. A vast coverage, and most have found fame in more than one group.
Ed was away from his desk and the show was broadcast by AlanDJ, with Mal on the plaza to back me up. I lost connection to the radio stream during the postshow, and by the time I’d got it back, the audience had (quite understandably) dispersed. It was a very complex show, as the playlist makes clear – still I did have time to include two requests in the postshow.
