Bar Gumbo this Friday
Hi folks, we'll be playing at Gumbo this Friday from 9 - it's on Byres Road in Glasgow dontchaknow. Stuart Macpherson will be joining us on bass again for this one and we are delighted to have Scott Murphy with us on tenor. As such we'll be playing all the hits off Alloy, which Scott also played on and you can hear here. Plus some extra standards and more cornbread and cocktails than will seem reasonable in the morning..
dBass Swing Special this Sunday
We are playing at Gibson Street Gala this weekend - one of our favourite gigs of the calendar, in the back court of West bank Qaudrant! We are doing a special set this time featuring some classic swing numbers for the Glasgow Swing Dance Society dancers to hop along to. Here's the full lineup: http://gibsonstgala.co.uk/whats-on/gow-backcourt/
Joining us in this semi-bigband are some more fantastic horns: includingTim Quicke on trumpet, as well as a full sax section of alto, tenor, baritone. And Martin's going to wield his clarinet too.
We'll also have Stuart Macpherson back on bass, a delightful turn of events, and as a celebration we'll be playing a few of his numbers and his selected favourites from his recent recital.
We're on at 2.15, its free, and it looks like its going to be another warm and sunny weekend, so do come along!

23/9/12 - Tchai Ovna on Wednesday, farewell to Stu
Apologies for the radio silence lately. We're back, playing at the Tchai Ovna this Wednesday at 8pm. We shall have with us guest bassist David Bowden, and a couple of new tracks to try out.
We are sad to bid farewell to Stuart, who is moving onto bigger and brighter things, and wish him all the best especially for his coming final year at uni. Stu has been a defining member of dBass, contributing only the highest quality writing and playing - he's a tough act to follow! We are really happy that we got to record Alloy with him, and to have two of his tunes so well documented. So all the best Stu!
