molan Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Chaka has had a string of top bass men playing with her but I don't think either Andrew Gouche or Melvin Davis are out with her this time around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm listening to her '08 live album right now.

62P-Bass Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I saw her at Indigo at the O2 last year. If it's the same band you're in for a treat! Really good reworking of their songs, played with a contemporary gospel feel, but without the overplaying. I don't know who the bass player was but looked like he was also the MD. Seriously on it!

I've tried writing to him via MySpace - be interesting to see if he replies If he does I'll try not to gush with praise about how wonderful he is, lol.

molan Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Haven't heard anything and transport seems much better today so hopefully everything will be all ok for tonight.
