I'm a bass player. I've been playing since I was little (ok, I still am little) + I've played everything from the pub at the end of the road to two and a half people, to 14,000 mad metal fans in Russia, on a bill with Tony Iommi, Glenn Hughes, Bonnie Tyler, Rik Wakeman and Nazareth. I'm available for session work, live or recording and I also teach bass and guitar.
I'm mad about all kinds of music, especially rock music, and 70's Glam. But I'll give anything ago - If it's not contrived, I'm listening, and in fact I'm even getting into Jazz these days. I play bass for Tony Martin's solo Band (the guy who sang for Black Sabbath until Ozzy returned to the band,) I also perform solo covers gigs regularly for the income it brings, and I'm currently working on recording my own instrumental material and some songs I've had kicking about for years, which you can find out more about on my music profile - www.myspace.com/jamiemallendersoloartist.
I have a beautiful, witty, girly-girly daughter - Eve - who is now a teenager - aaaaarrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!! She's a real darling (most of the time) + has a pink daisy rock bass, which is amazingly good. My other half is Donna - number 1 in my friends list of course. She's beautiful, sexy, sarcastic, funny, stubborn, smart, kind, warm hearted and sensitive. She's into Metallica, Mr Big, Billy Connolly and Pizza. Oh yeah, and we have a cat with an attitude - Blake. I like a drink + a good film + if you wanna get on my right side get me a vodka + a kebab.
Dislikes: Reality tv shows, manufactured music, people who park accross my drive, ignorance, Hollyoaks (surely they must be taking the piss?) watching a bent tv picture on a widescreen tv, marmalade, getting up early, football violence, people with no manners, and I'm undecided about pineapple.
