‘When John Edwards plays his double bass, he is extraordinarily engaging. He plucks, tweaks, bows, hits and hums aloud. So engrossed is he that it is difficult to look away. One memorable gig, I overheard a member of the audience say “It’s almost pornographic what he does with that bass.”‘ – Sammy Stein
Dominic Lash used to best known as a double bass player, but he emerged as a guitarist after the 2020 lockdown, during which he “spent his time developing a very interesting and personal approach to electric guitar… Lash uses the Telecaster’s basic yet unique design super-effectively; the biting, percussive nature of the instrument highlighted by the sheer power in his contrabass trained hands” (Paul Khimasia Morgan).
