Summary

To kick off this season I though it'd be great to hook up with one of my all time favourite bass players - the one and only Dave Swift. Dave has been part of Jools Hollands Rhythm & Blues Orchestra for over 30 years, and with that band has played with artists such as George Benson, Eric Clapton, Al Jarreau, Chaka Khan, Jeff Beck, Tom Jones, Paul Weller, BB King, Adele, Amy Winehouse... I could go on and on, I'm sure you get the idea... Dave is 'experienced'! ;)

0:05.7	number one of season two for the Scott's Bass Essence podcast. And this week we've got the
0:13.3	phenomenal Dave Swift. Now, if you haven't heard of Dave Swift, he plays for the Jules Holland Rhythm and Blues Orchestra.

1:03.8	if you're an academy member, you'll be able to watch the video and you'll see that we're
1:07.7	actually in Jules Holland Studio, which is in London.
1:12.0	And it's just such a crazy place.
1:14.9	It's actually built on some...
1:18.5	Jules bought some old garages years ago.
1:21.5	And they were knocked down and then he built this huge studio on the plot of land where the garages used to be.
1:29.1	And it's like Port Merion, which is a place in Wales.
1:33.7	That's what it's based on.
1:35.2	So the architecture of it is really strange.
1:38.6	It's just do a Google search, Jules Holland studio, and you'll be able to see it.
1:42.8	But obviously, if you're an academy member, you'll be able to watch the video anyway, and you'll be able to see it. But obviously, if you're an academy
1:44.3	member, you'll be able to watch the video anyway, and you'll be able to see inside the studio.
