OldGit Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 John Illsley the bass player from Dire Straits was on Bob Harris last night talking about his new band. He's formed a band with a guy who was playing in a covers band - with a fabulous voice .... There's hope for us yet! Nice to see him back even it he was playing acoustic guitar ...

bass_ferret Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Likewise. Although we did Romeo and Juliet better Not sure if its a number a lot of covers bands would try - as a 3 piece :brow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGit Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Ha ha Thank god for Bob on the journey home from gigs He is right, that's a fab tune and words though I was inserting the lead guitar bits in my head as I listened ...
