Apologies for only contributing to this thread now. There has been the sad passing of many musicians who I admired, or who inspired me over the years. But Danny Thompson's sad passing has been one of the saddest in recent times. As others have said, the Transatlantic Sessions are great, and his playing and tone are just wonderful. I saw him live just twice (with Pentangle) and I wish I'd seen him more. I also would like to have met him. In interviews, he always seemed such a decent, humble and humorous guy. The world is just that little bit less colourful since he has gone, and I know that a huge range of talented musicians who played with him will be feeling the same. R.I.P Danny 😞

Hello from South Wales, and welcome to BassChat 😀

Usually, I'd agree with @Leonard Smalls thoughts - but as you say with "Another Brick" it just suits the song so well. Another example of this IMHO is "Circus Games" by the Skids. Again, the kids voices suit the subject matter, and I can't imagine it without

Re Cranes of Cardiff - I miss them too. Cardiff seemed to have a lot of guitar or music related shops in the past. But there is a hidden gem, right near the centre..... Former deputy manager of Cranes, and manager of Cardiff PMT, Mike runs a great 2nd hand guitar & motorbike shop "Motomusic" check them out. (A seemingly strange mix, I know- but I've met people from the world of motorbikes who also think he's a true gent). Mike is an absolute gent, and pleasure to deal with, and they often get really nice rarities popping up. Another positive story, is the rise of A-strings music, just north of Cardiff. They are currently expanding their shop, and moving to a much larger premises in Treforest industrial estate. Fingers crossed, and all the best to them.

I recall Sound Centre. I almost bought a Westbury guitar from them around 1980 / 81... and with that, I would have become lead guitarist in a band.... lucky escape? Maybe 😉 They had an Aria? Semi acoustic - which I tried out ar the time, which sported the rather "different" finish of the Welsh flag. This was a bit of a one-off at the time, and I believe the very same guitar was purchased by James Dean Bradfield. Wonder what happened to him? If I'd bought it of course the only relevant word would have been "obscurity" 😀
