...Wurd to your quote above.

I've blathered on about Leeds-based 'Brendan Croker & The 5 O'clock Shadows' before but here's a 'Voice and Fretless Bass guitar' doing amazing things IMO...



^^^ Its Brendan Croker on Vocal and a fella named Nigel Brooke on what I think is a very 80's sounding Fretless Bass which has been heavily effected (Chorus'd + Flanged + Reverb'd and a bit of compression perhaps). I 1st heard this done live by them at a small festival in the mid 80's at a very impressionable age when I was starting to play bass and spent hours and hours trying to work out what Nigel is doing on that recording, still attempting to play it 'well' to this day, I never have worked the solo part out.

There's very little about the original 5 O'clock shadows line-up that I've found out there on the 'net or Nigel Brooke in particular, but finally I've found a picture of him in a NZ newspaper feature about Kayaking! :) https://www.nzherald.co.nz/whanganui-ch ... KVPLVWKGY/

Hooray for the internet, If you're reading this Nigel, you're flippin' awethumne! Respek! How can someone who played like that go unrecognised for so long? S'not fair.

From there to here :
Still astonishes me. a 19 year old boy can create this, and in the first track, a line like -
"A soul with no footprint, a rose with no thorn"

Sorry can't find Youtube link without multiple '=' signs
