Episode 10: End of Year Awards & Calum Gourlay Interview
The fab four reflect on another epic year and decide awards for: Best Gig, Best Guest, Audience Member of the Year, Best Crustacean Based Solo, and Outstanding Soloing Throughout Year Award. There are vigorous discussions for all these categories and new Award music (not composed by Graeme). Then we get a wonderful interview with London-based Scottish bass virtuoso Calum Gourlay about how he learnt to play jazz, moving to London, playing on autopilot, 'babysitter' drummers versus other kinds of drummers, being a 'big hug' bass playing master, and having a love of folk music (or not). And so another year ends ... and soon a new one will begin.
