That last retweet from @SingleBass is fabulous. Jennifer was doing solo bass gigs a long time before me, and has been a source of inspiration since I first saw her play in the late90s/early 00s at the 12 Bar club!

She's a really important part of the story of solo bass in the UK, so it makes me really happy to hear new music from her :)

@SingleBass I take any opportunity I get to tell people about your lovely music. You really were a huge inspiration.

In the story of solo bass in the UK, the two people who I make the most fuss about are you and Fred Baker. You were both such pioneering artists, and had a real impact on how people saw the instrument! I still vividly remember watching the 12 Bar show and just being in awe of the clarity of your creative vision, and amazing use of harmonics 🥰

@Solobasssteve

How much more smiley could I possibly be haha :-)

And high praise to be mentioned alongside Fred! It was actually seeing him play that gave me the idea of having the bass as the band, just when my previous band had split up. I was like "now THERE is an idea" :-)

@SingleBass ahh! That's so great that Fred inspired you! I saw him play in LA recently with Soft Machine. He was amazing, but it was so so good to chat to him after so long, and remind him that his place in the history isn't lost ;)

@SingleBass I've just found where I first mentioned you online! June 1999 on The Bottom Line "if any of you in the UK get a chance to hear 'Single

Bass', jump at it - it's a lass called Jennifer Moore who sings and plays

bass, solo - she's great, writes top songs, and makes some nifty bass

noises." 😁
