Brad Waissman
Bass, Double Bass
 Originally
trained as a classical guitarist from the age of 6 - he still
works frequently playing classical and flamenco guitar.
Turned professional as a bass player ten years ago most of his
work has been as a session player on countless jingles and sessions
for Rykodisc and Warner Brothers amongst others, as well as
film soundtrack work including Metroland (with Emily Watson
and Christian Bale). Last year recorded tracks for two Rick
Wakeman albums (White Rock II and Themes), and has also recorded
for Leee John (Imagination).
As well as working with Paul, he works with Marcus Malone, a
blues/rock singer from Detroit. Has supported B.B. King, Nina
Simone and Ben Harper. Has toured all over the world.
Other work includes session work with two new bands, one for
Rondor and another for Zomba records. And did you buy "7 Days",
the single by Craig David, released on the 24th July 2000. Brad
featured on the remix. He joined the Waterboys in 2003 for about
a year and also recorded with the Funky Low Lives, an instrumental
dance band, until now.
Brad's latest venture is called the Joff Wink's Band, an originals
band who are on their second record and have strong links with
the US West Coast music scene.
All this - and such a lovely shining personality.
