mikel Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Happy birthday Glen, one of my top three bassists of all time. Lovely melodic lines and great phrasing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Dare Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Some years ago, I spent a couple of months in LA, playing in a bar band, run by a singer/songwriter I had known in London. On St Patrick's Day (17 March), we had the night off, so I took my fiddle and went in search of a bar with Irish music. Came across one with rather a decent band and the woman playing fiddle turned out to be someone I knew from the Kilburn trad' sessions. I got chatting to them during their break, told the bass player I recognised him and asked who he was. Surprise, surprise , he was none other than Glenn Cornick. At the time, he was working as a sales manager with a frozen food company and gigging for fun in his spare time. We had a long chat during the break and I played a couple of sets of tunes with the band later. Glenn was a very nice chap and a fine musician.

Mickeyboro Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Yeah, interesting character. Never saw him live, but had an unique take on rock bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen's take on bass playing and Clive's jazzy rock drumming were a great mix of styles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbass Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 A great guy who took time to answer some questions I had via email about his equipment during Tull days. I still have the emails in my inbox somewhere. RIP Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
