On the Beach - Chris Ria

[fish slapper]

I was just running out to get a latte and hear "On the Beach" by Chris Ria on the car radio. There was some tasty fret-less playing on that track. A quick search lists "Eoghan O'Neill – bass."

Anyone know anything else by this guy? and Eoghan, if you're on here, WELL DONE!

One of his regular gigs was with an Irish Folk/Rock/Whateverelsetheyfanciedatthetime band called Moving Hearts who's line up reads like a who's who of Contemporary Irish folk musicians. I saw them live once and it was the same buzz I got when I saw Miles. Very different music obviously, but so "right".

I'm not familiar with him. I've heard of Chris Rea....guy has been around since Jesus was a boy and had a couple of big hits a few decades back, "Fool if you think it's over" and "Workin' on It".

So 10+ years after this thread was started, a new generation of bass player (me!) stumbled upon Chris Rea's tune "Fool (If You Think It's Over)" this morning as it was playing on the radio, and I just love the bass line. Looking at the bass credits for the album it came off of, it seems that 4 session players were used, but I can't seem to determine which of those 4 played on that particular track. Anyone know? I'd love to hear more of his playing!
