Guy Pratt is The SidemanLast night, a packed, sold out Komedia in Brighton saw the first night of a new tour, presenting "Guy Pratt is The Sideman". The one-man show celebrates Guy's 30 years as the bass player of choice for the heavyweights of rock and pop, including Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Robert Palmer, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Bryan Ferry, Jimmy Page, David Coverdale, Womack & Womack, and The Smiths.

His one man show is all about life at the pointy end of the music business; Guy regales audiences with at times jaw-dropping stories from behind the scenes - the real truth about being on the road or in a recording studio! His self-deprecating wit is irresistible and his rip-roaring anecdotes have to be heard to be believed. With frequent musical examples courtesy of his beloved vintage Fender bass, and a slightly less reliable electric guitar and amp combo, the Brighton audience clearly had a great time, even coercing Guy into an encore for the extended show.

Tickets are now available for the remaining twelve shows on the tour - the first show of which is tomorrow evening. The full list of dates and links to ticket sales (booking ahead is definitely advised, based on the strength of Brighton ticket sales) can be seen below...
