I'm pleased to announce the latest interview from
www.flyguitars.com, with rock bassist
Mick Hawksworth. Hope it's ok to plug it here....
Mick Hawksworth has been performing and recording for over 40 years, in a long line up of bands, and as a session player. In the 60s he was noted for his "technically brilliant basslines" after he formed the short-lived Andromeda with Attack frontman John Cann. Their sound was akin to Cream one moment, The Who the next, and perhaps Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd after that. Over the next decade he played bass in Fuzzy Duck, Toefat, Jimmy McCullough Band, Landslide, Charley Horse, Shanghai, Human Orchestra, and Ten Years Later recording with the likes of Alvin Lee, Mickey Jones, Mathew Fisher (ex-Procol Harum), Gilbert O'Sulivan and more besides.

And finally, just as a taster, here's Mick playing his fretless Gibson RD artist (through his 1970 Acoustic 360) with his current band Tres Geezers. I went down to see them In February of this year, and filmed this. Watch out for the the bass solo, in the middle.
