EP46 - Dave Swift - Bass Player - Jools Holland - "I've got a song, I ain't got no melody, I'm a gonna sing it to my friends..."
My guest is one of the UK’s finest, high-profile bass players, Dave Swift.
He joined Jools Holland and His Rhythm and Blues Orchestra in 1991 and his career, which expands beyond three decades, boasts a musician’s portfolio that seconds no other - playing with an array of renowned artists, from George Benson and Chaka Khan to Adele, BB King, Hall & Oates, Noel Gallagher, Paul McCartney and Paul Simon along with the main man that we're all here to talk about Paul Weller!
Paul has been on Later... with Jools Holland / Jools' Annual Hootenanny more than any other guest and many of his performances would be filed in the archive as iconic classics!
