urb Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hey peeps Just wanted to big up my friend and fine drummer Sophie Alloway, I've been lucky to play with her in a couple of bands in the last two years and we're currently working on an album with a singer that i hope I'll be able to preview somtime soon. Anyway she's a brilliant player and is now working with Roots Manuva and because of that she was live on Jools Holland just now. If not watch it again on Friday, or listen to the first track on my [url="http://www.myspace.com/flynnbass"]Myspace page here.[/url] It's rare to find a drummer that has a great sense of groove and timing and very little ego, AND happens to be a female as well, Sophie is going to have a great career ahead, look out for her on Roots Manuva's tour this October. Sorry to go on just wanted give the girl some props Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrenochrome Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Yeah I watched last night, good stuff. I noticed she had a Trace stack behind her - monitoring the sampled bassline p'raps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aparrently there's another Roots Manuva on the longer Friday edition of the show so more funky drumming from Soph to enjoy - and Elbow were ace too.

The Funk Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hah, I tried to get your drummer to join my band a couple of years ago. She was very polite about not being all that interested. She's a good drummer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
