KingPrawn Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 This confirms Lee really is the go to session man. From Take That, ELO know this. http://teamrock.com/news/2016-07-08/anderson-rabin-wakeman-band-lee-pomeroy-louis-molino-gary-cambra He gets such great gigs. A hugely versatile player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 He's an awesome player. I saw him with Hackett, and he nailed the Rutherford thing. And he looked like he was having loads of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassintheface Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Great player!! I know he's left handed, but it looked to me like he also had his bass strung 'upside down', or is it just my eyes?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srwu Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 He's a very nice bloke too. I bought my lefty fretless Stingray from him and when he brought it round he was very modest and low key - in fact it wasn't until after he'd gone that I googled him and realised what a talent he is. Re the upside down thing, certainly the Stingray I bought from him was a lefty but strung upside down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casapete Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) [attachment=223194:Lee,Donavan and me!.jpg] I was playing in Richmond,London last Wednesday with my band The ELO Experience. At the end of the night, I came back onto the stage, and there was Lee with Donavan Hepburn at the front! Went down to meet them, just gobsmacked they'd come to see an ELO tribute. They also brought backing vocalist Ian Hornal and musical director/guitarist Mike Stevens along with them. Chatted for ages with Lee, who was just the nicest bloke you could possibly meet. Showed him my bass (Fender P-Lyte) which he had a quick go on too. They were all very complementary about our band, which was unexpected and very kind. Lee told me they'd been rehearsing with Take That not far from where we were, in readiness for their Hyde Park gig yesterday. Top player and feller, so thrilled to meet him.

Russ Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Great guy, known him for years - he worked at Rockbottom in Croydon back in the early 90s and he was a monster player even back then. Used to go and see his old power trio at the local dive quite regularly. He was always a huge classic prog fan, massively into old Genesis/Yes/Rush and so on - he had a lefty Rickenbacker 4001CS, one of only a few that were made. Nice to see that, in addition to Take That, the Jubilee gig and so on, he's been tickling off all his dream prog gigs - It Bites, Steve Hackett, Rick Wakeman and now Anderson/Wakeman/Rabin. His prog-metal band, Headspace, are bloody great too. And it couldn't happen to a nicer bloke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
