In case you missed it, Lawson/Dodds/Wood is a trio that came out of my Recycle Collective project (which is currently on a temporary hiatus). I’d played […]

About two weeks ago, I got an email from electronic drum-monkey extraordinaire, Andrew Booker, asking me to do a gig with his improv collective Improvizone, at the design museum. This appealed on a few different levels - firstly, Andrew’s a fantastic musician and top bloke. Note that the first time I saw Andrew live, I […]

Sunday’s gig with Patrick Wood and Roy Dodds went very well - thanks to those of you who came along. The venue, The Brickhouse on Brick Lane in East London, was suitably strange - on three levels (ground floor and two balconies, the top one had beds on it!) and amazing food, and we had […]

Trying to pin down just what it is that Steve Lawson does can be tricky - he’s a solo bassist who spends a lot of his time making very unbasslike noises.

I’ve been asked a few times lately to give quotes to people to use for promo purposes, so I thought it would be a good time to offer some thoughts on the process. Largely because it’s something I’ve done myself from time to time, and continue to do when the conditions are right…
Firstly, it’s worth […]

I’ve just booked a really amazing gig for March 4th at Darbucka World Music Bar in Clerkenwell (the venue home of the Recycle Collective).
The line up will feature a really diverse range of solo bassists -

Was just browsing around the pages of my ‘top friends’ on Myspace, and on a whim started playing the tunes that are on the Recycle Collective page - just in case you’ve only just found this site, the Recycle Collective is a semi-regular improv night that I run in London with a revolving cast of […]

As I’ve mentioned before, this was definitely the most difficult music I’ve ever had to play, and I was still a little under-prepared given that we’d had only two rehearsals as a band - there were a couple of the lines that […]
