Silly Methods of Musical Transport:
- Boat Bass
Paddling to a gig in a fibreglass double bass. Apparently someone used to make fibreglass double basses in Salcombe, and they were perfectly fine if you used the body of the bass as a boat.
- Walking/Weightlifting
Walking back from a gig with a very, very heavy keyboard because me and H had missed the last bus home and the taxi companies weren’t answering!
- Gigs on Transport!
I have played a few jazz gigs on a ferry. We had to connect the keyboard up to a car battery for power and it was strange playing at any tempo that didn’t match the whirring of the engine, but it worked.

Long before Jack Wills, Salcombe was famous for the creator of the Devon Yawl, MICK QUICK, who made several glassfibre cellos and double basses, and appeared on local TV paddling a bass (without mishap) across the beautiful estuary.
He played bass with community orchestras and with the South Hams Hot Club (further info. on request), but died a few years back having fallen in with The Contemporary Music Ensemble in Huddersfield.
