Hey Benj… Glad you’re still around. Haven’t heard from you in a while. Hope all is well and you’re touring or something good.

MUZIK KINDA SWEET BY POGUS CAESAR 1st – 30th October 2011

The British Music Experience at O2 presented by the Co-operative, in association with OOM Gallery will be showcasing an exclusive exhibition of 38 rare photographs celebrating legendary black musicians working in the UK.

Using a simple camera photographer Pogus Caesar followed the musicians and singers around the famous venues producing a collection that celebrates a style of black music that brings together the UK, the US and the Caribbean.

From Stevie Wonder in 1989, Grace Jones in 2009 and Big Youth in 2011, this unique exhibition documents how black music, in its Reggae, Soul, Jazz and R&B tributaries of sound, has changed and renewed itself over the decades.

Journeying from Jimmy Cliff to Jay-Z via Mica Paris and Mary Wilson of The Supremes to David Bowie’s bass player Gail Ann Dorsey, these images conjure up an alphabet of the music of the Black Atlantic.
The photographs selected from OOM Gallery Archive are also as much about the clubs and venues, as it is about the singers, producers and musicians. The Wailers at The Tower Ballroom, Sly Dunbar at The Hummingbird Club, Courtney Pine at Ronnie Scott’s, Cameo at the Odeon Cinema, Ben E. King at the Hippodrome and Soul II Soul’s Jazzie B at BBC Pebble Mill, many venues now lost to regeneration or renewal, and only recalled through memory and imagery.

Ahhh, just looked it up and that was on the Old Grey Whistle test in 1982. Angie was reciting some fairly random poetry over Karn’s bass

Good question! Probably one for @solobasssteve, as my old addled brain can’t remember!

I remember this performance well. There were so many great moments on the Tube (and terrible ones). But like with the Old Grey Whistle Test we remember the (very) good bits and wish something like this could happen on mainstream TV nowadays!

I remember Mick Karn duetting with Angie Bowie – was that The Tube too?

A brilliant find this! Photo of the bass guitar legend Gail Ann Dorsey taken by UK lensman Pogus Caesa in 1988…love everything about the photo, lighting, angle and the way Gail arches into the shot. Superb!

I need anyone’s help, I use an SWR 8004 TOP bass amp head and 4 X 10′s, I just switched to a 5 string old peavey dyna bass guitar which sounds great the problem is I do not know the best setting for the amp so I don’t blow the speakers using the low B string. Any tips or help would be great.

Thanks
