First Live Gigs - Thank You Bass Buzz!

Recently I played live for the first two times, after learning and practicing bass for almost 4 years.

Luckily for me, I had the opportunity to stand in and play bass for a professional cover band, The Reflectors. I only filled in for one song on their two-part set list, (Superstition by Stevie Wonder) but I can’t express how lucky I am to get some live performance experience with such talented musicians.

My father happens to be the vocalist for the band, and being able to play with him live on stage has been a privilege.

And of course, thank you @JoshFossgreen for guiding me on my bass journey, as you have for so many others. I wouldn’t be half the bass player I am today if it wasn’t for the B2B course!

I’ve attached some photos and a video (of me focusing very hard) from the second liver performance with the band, playing in a pub in Surrey, England. Ignore my dad’s questionable dancing skills :joy:
