Review: The List
An hour of rip-roaring anecdotes from a professional bass player who co-wrote a song with Jimmy Nail? No, come back! It’s better than it sounds, with the speed of Guy Pratt’s nimble fingers on his instrument (ahem) surpassed only by his ever ready wit. Stories of ridiculous egomania involved in working as a live and session musician with the likes of Madonna, Pink Floyd and Michael Jackson could have easily made for a dry article for a mature music magazine. The upshot, however, is consistently top-flight comedy and gives Pratt – and his audience – the last laugh of all.
