Groovecast S2 Ep8: GrooveGuest Steve Pearce Pt.2

Hello and welcome back to Groovecast!

In todays episode you hear once more from bass legend Steve Pearce. In the second part of our chat with him we discuss adding upright bass to his arsenal, hooliganism on Bill Bailey's Remarkable Guide To The Orchestra and a couple of hilarious behind the scenes gig stories, including a far from straight forward performance with George Benson...

Thank you once again to Steve for giving up so much of his valued time to speak to us and until next time, we'll see you on Groovecast!

Don’t forget to give Steve a follow over on Instagram too for plenty of great pics from some of his gigs and sessions!

A true legend of the business, Steve Pearce joining us for a natter.

Episode 8 of Season 2 is released at 10am on Saturday 25th March (so if you’re reading this blog - go and listen now!), and will be available immediately on Youtube (both audio and video!) and in audio format on Podbean. It should be on Apple Podcasts and Spotify soon after too!

Episode 8 is here! Welcoming the legend that is Steve Pearce for a good old natter about life, music and everything!

As discussed in the episode, here’s some vintage footage of Steve, Ralph Salmins, Frank Ricotti and Bill Bailey, playing the tuned Alpine Cowbells at the Royal Albert Hall, from Bill Bailey’s Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra.

Steve’s classic save on live TV, giving George Benson his guitar lead at about the 1:45 mark!
