Strange thing about Herbie Flowers is.... his name is very familiar to me, as I've heard him mentioned for years. But I have no idea who he is, or what he's done . The photo on that ad gives me a first impression of him I could do without lol

For all the excellent work he's done [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbie_Flowers"]read about it here[/url] he's probably best known for writing Clive Dunns' "Grandad". Go figure

He's a lovely bloke too, just go up to him and introduce yourself as a fellow bass player. He's done sessions with pretty much every big UK name in the 70's and 80's plus others. He's also famous for writing the bass line to Lou Reeds "Take a Walk on The Wild Side" and not getting paid any more than studio scale for it!

Maybe I'll drop by and see him then. It's always cool meeting someone with that amount of experience under there belt. If they're wearing one of course.
