Guy Pratt is

The Sideman

 

Celebrating 30 years as the bass player of choice for the heavyweights of rock and pop.

Limos, Lear jets and transit vans, it’s all funny with Guy… well limos and Lear jets anyway.

Johnny Marr

A fascinating glimpse behind the rock ‘n’ roll curtain.

★★★★ Fest

Pratt is pretty bloody hilarious.

The Irish Times

He regaled the audience with hilariously indiscreet anecdotes about the stars he’s worked with.

Toby Young, The Spectator

What tales he has to tell.

★★★★ The Independent

An hour of rip-roaring anecdotes.

★★★★ The List

A natural raconteur with a droll turn of phrase.

The Guardian

Bass players are ten a penny but a good wit is hard to find, so we hired him.

David Gilmour

Guy Pratt has been a cru­cial mem­ber of the rhythm sec­tion of megas­tars such as Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Robert Palmer, Roxy Music, Bryan Ferry, Jimmy Page, David Coverdale, Womack & Womack, and The Smiths.

And when he’s not been parad­ing his tal­ents live on the stages of every sta­dium, con­cert hall and fes­ti­val around the world, he has been a favourite stu­dio bassist and accom­pa­ny­ing singer for the biggest record­ing artists includ­ing Madonna, Michael Jackson, Iggy Pop,The Pretenders, Echo and The Bunnymen and McFly.

His one man show is all about life at the pointy end of the music busi­ness; Guy regales audi­ences with sto­ries from behind the scenes. His self-dep­re­cat­ing wit is irre­sistible and his rip-roar­ing anec­dotes are bril­liant and out­ra­geous. This is an evening which is both funny and frank with enough insider’s ref­er­ences to sat­isfy even afi­ciona­dos — and he’ll be bring­ing his beloved vin­tage Fender bass to demon­strate his craft.

Guy is also a com­poser who has won a Grammy and been nom­i­nated for two Ivor Novello Awards – not bad for a bloke who just “hangs around with the band”!
