Learning the basslines to your songs
Obviously, I need to know what to play. There’s various ways to achieve this quickly:
* I can read chords or dots. If you’d like me to read the parts, please would you send me the music a couple of weeks in advance, so that I can check it for problems and get familiar with it.
* If you’re playing well-known songs, just give me a list - I can play these (and others) already, and I can research most of the ones I don’t know. I’ll let you know if I have difficulty with any of them.
* If you’re playing your own songs, send me some recordings (they don’t need to be high-quality), preferably with chord charts.

I’m the dep, at a barbecue at the Rising Sun.

Here’s what they said when I helped them out.
ULU Big Band
Swing jazz tunes, read from sheet music. And yes, we played “Stomping At The Savoy” at the Savoy!
You’ve got the gig, but your bass player has another appointment - or you’re going to record an EP and you want to enlarge the band to give a better recording?
Let me help. I enjoy a wide variety of music, I can learn new material fast, and I have experience of dep work. Because I enjoy the work, my rates are reasonable.
