Featuring on Slap Bass the young Buzzsaw Pete Turland

Although the sound is not great the footage of Ronnie Hayward is, as Ronnie is in great form with an awesome slap bass solo and stage presence.

Ronnie Hayward and Mark Twang had been in at least 4 other bands since 2004 and had over that time and hard work and their love of blues and rockabilly got down their own blues grooves together. Add the energy of Al Black laying down the beat and then the great blues singing in his own style of Butch Murphy doing songs like King Bee was a great pleasure and our little part to help carry on the tradition and keep the music alive as we did with the obscure rockabilly covers we did.
