| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, how's it going? Scott again here with episode 27 of the Scott's Bass Lessons podcast. |
| 0:06.6 | And today we're sitting down with none other than the UK Session Legend, Session Godfather, really, Mo Foster. |
| 0:16.1 | Now, in over 40 years as a musician, Mo has produced and played on countless albums, singles and film |
| 0:24.6 | soundtracks, and he's also a published author, and he occasionally teaches at music seminars |
| 0:29.8 | over all over the UK as well. As a session musician, Mo has played on over, check this out, |
| 0:36.2 | 350 recordings, including artists as very does. Are you ready for this? I've got a list. And just bear in mind that this isn't the entire list. I just picked out a few. Okay, this is who he's recorded and played with. Phil Collins, Jeff Beck, Jerry Rafferty, Ringo Starr, Gary Moore, Cher, Peter Green of Fleetwood |
| 0:58.0 | Mac, Gill Evans, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Sting, a living Newton John, meatloaf, Andrew Lloyd-Weber, |
| 1:05.8 | the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Dusty Springfield, Hank Marvin and Cliff Richard. And again, |

| 1:34.9 | the first ever course at Goldsmith College University of London. So, you know, he's had a real |
| 1:42.6 | varied career and has played and recorded with just |
| 1:47.3 | the craziest amount of artists. And he's just a really, really interesting guy as well. And was, |
| 1:54.5 | we were happy and, well, not happy enough, we were lucky enough to go and hang out at his house in |
| 1:59.2 | London and just talk, you know, talk base with him |
| 2:02.6 | for an hour or so. Now, before we get into the show, into the interview, I also want to say |
| 2:10.7 | thanks again for all the messages coming in about I-Base magazine. I know there's a lot of you |
| 2:15.8 | really excited about it. You might not have heard, |
