Bass Notes by Neil Sheasby

Bass Notes: Life and Times on the Road With Stone Foundation by Neil Sheasby
 
From the glamour of the London’s Royal Albert Hall to playing on a staircase in a Spanish hotel, Neil Sheasby has had his share of peaks and troughs as the bass player in the acclaimed Midlands soul collective Stone Foundation. Bass Notes documents all the fun and the fear of a hard grafting touring band, which grows with each album. Bass Notes was written over the last decade and features over 120 shows written in diary form. Each entry is a window into the humour, love, a wistfulness and an honesty of Neil’s days in a splitter van, travelling with his band of brothers. Working with the likes of The Specials, Paul Weller, Graham Parker, and many other musical luminaries makes Bass Notes a compelling read. If anyone ever wondered what life is really like on the road in the modern era, then look no further than this book.
