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 –
TODD JOHNSON – Todd is one of the finest electric jazz bassists on the planet, and is known to many via his amazing DVD tuitional series, his loads of youtube clips and his amazing playing with the Ron Eschete Trio. Not to be missed!
YOLANDA CHARLES – playing her [b]first ever all solo show[/b] (!!) Yolanda is one of the most instantly recognisable bassists in the country, thanks to her work with Robbie Williams and Paul Weller. She’s also front woman for her own amazing funk band, MamaYo, who some of you will have seen at Bass Day 2006. Her songs are great, her bass playing’s funky, and this is one debut you really don’t want to miss!
and ME – this’ll be my first solo gig in London for MONTHS, and hopefully there’ll be some new material on display… 🙂
There’ll also be time for some Q and A with all three performers.
Tickets will be £6 in advance or £7 on the door – advance tickets will be available ASAP from the online shop at
