Stingray5 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Yeh, nice. Great solid rhythm section. I saw AWB in the 80's (before Hamish Stuart defected to Paul McCartney) at the Lyceum, London, and they blew me away then. Just shows "it ain't what you use, it's the way that you use it!" Looks and sounds like Gorrie's using an octaver here and there, which does add nicely to what he's doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 That tune doesn't sound right with one sax. Didn't think the bass tone was great either, a bit too clean and hi-fi for AWB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suits their sound I think and he has a very easy playing style.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumnote Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I was in a band which backed him in some sort of hall in reading in the late 60s. He was playing in a band called hopscotch, with onnie the AWB guitarist, and a guy who rested the bottom of his hammond on two 1 gallon castrol GTX tins to raise it up. He was sh*t hot, and Ive always thought he had a great voice. Was never that fussed about Hamish Stewarrt though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
