Dave West I solute you sir! your playing on the song 'careless whispher' inspired millions to play groovey bass lines as solid as you did.

Brilliant - thank you for this interview

I remember working with Dave West years ago many years ago and and I was watching a wham vid and remembered Dave played bass with them and wondered what Dave was doing these days so did a search on here and found this. Good to see Dave is doing well. I remember jamming with him in the 80s

Great video.... didn't realise your past Dave :-)

Hey Simon... Due to my age, it's a long past now. :-) Hope you're well mate.

[@westyonbass511]

Hey Chris, really enjoyed the chat mate. you're a great host.

Great interview mate! Very interesting. You're very modest about your playing though. You've played with some incredible musicians and I feel very lucky and privileged that you played with us in GRAVITY. Good luck with your future projects.
