The video is now doing the rounds on Sky Arts One - look out for it. By the way, an amazing gig - just breathtaking picking from Jeff.

...also their bassist (when he wasn't playing a double bass) was using a Burns Shadows' bass.

The lady playing bass in his current band has to be seen to be believed - she is very very good!

But can she make a coffee & walnut cake? :lol: :lol:

It was on Sky Arts 1 last weekend. The bassist was actually using a Burns Marquee Bass (medium scale, in white) for those numbers. One of the newer models with a headstock-end truss-rod adjuster.

Yes she is amazing for the size of her too. I was wondering how she could play so masterfully all over the neck with such tiny hands. She really is some player.
Never mind the c&w cake, can she clean toilets??? :problem:

Yes a great dvd, Jeff is awsome. Imelda has a fantastic voice and Darrel (Imelda's husband) is also a fantastic player and are enjoying some well deserved success with the Imelda May band. I know Darrel has been doing the rockabilly circuit for quiet a few years with is band The Enforcers and did a tour with Slim Jim Phantom of the Stray Cats taking lead vocals and guitar covering much of the globe. I find it hard to pick out any stand out performance, loved the whole thing.

Thanks Jim. I bow to your knowledge in these things.

There's an excellent article in the July issue of Guitar & Bass, in which Jeff Beck talks about his Rockn'Roll Party album and why he used a plectrum on the Les Paul numbers.

Best Wishes

The Burns Marquee Bass in my copy of the DVD is Baby Blue, not White.
