Double Bass/ Bass Guitar

Stewart was born into a musical family in 1947 and had his first bass guitar at the age of 12. Because of Stewart’s natural ability he was able to play live gigs at the age of 14. Jet Harris has been a big influence on Stewart and has clearly influenced his playing style. Stewart has a wealth of experience and has played in various bands over the years including playing for his father, who was a local drummer/bandleader. Stewart’s knowledge of music is impressive and he is able to turn his hand to any style of music with confidence and a real panache! He prefers to play mainly fretless basses and you may notice that he plays with an intriguing electric skeletal upright and Bass Ukulele!
