Eb Bass

I have been playing with Blackley for over 20 years. Started on Eb, then did a stint on Bb Bass before returning to Eb about nine years ago. I also play in a quintet and help out on occassion at Old Hall Brass (when they are REALLY desperate). For my sins I also have the dubious honour of being the bands contest secretary.
