Just read on the stanley clarke .com forum that he's planning a few shows in london at the end of april. there'll be at least 2 of the scottish contingency travelling down for that.

That's good news. Always something to learn and the chance to see him on upright just blows me away!  
Now if I start paddling now I may just make it on time to catch the show.

Hey Graeme, can let us know when there are dates? I haven't seen him since '82 (?) and I'd LOVE to see him again.

Stanley Clarke came to Japan in the end of last year. I really enjoyed the concert. Especially his upright solo was incredibly great! The band  consisted of four members. 6string bass,drums,keybords,and Stanley.

I'll be keeping my eyes and ears open for that one. I' haven't seen him live since 1993 and that was on holiday in USA.

As soon as i hear anything, this forum will be second to know. Ticketmaster will be first ;-)

That's great news, Graeme - I saw Stanley last time he was down here at Ronnie Scott's - great show but . . . absolutely ear-splitting volume! I took the wife and we had to leave before the end because it was physically painful for her (obviously, I'm kinda immune to it, given that I spend half my life standing next to a drummer).  
 
Do you know which band he's bringing over? Last time, he had Armand Sabal-Lecco backing him up. And if there's one bass player I prefer even to Stan The Man, it's ASL!
 
Hopefully see you guys there!

So far it's still just a rumour on stanley's forum. Believe me, I'm checking the listings every day.

OK, I'll bite again...
Last time I saw Stanley it was fantastic. Live at Ronnie Scotts, with Armand Sabal Lecco on a MusicMan Sabre.
 
We were there early. They came on and did a 30 MINUTE SET. A 30 MINUTE SET.  
We stayed. They came back and we thought it was the SECOND SET.
 
IT WAS THE SAME 30 MINUTE SET!!!!!!!!
Same jokes in the same places, and same choreography.
 
It was great though. Like watching a live show with a replay button.

I've got my ticket now for the gig Sunday 29th April.

Hey jazzy, maybe we can meet up. Mike and I will be at the guitar show during the day. Apparently they're having a bass-only room.  
 
Graeme

Sure that sounds a good idea.  
I'll email you my mobile number.

Pictures!

i'm not sure I'll get any pics from the gig Dave. According to the venue's website they have a strict no cameras policy. maybe we'll get lucky and spot Stanley outside ;-)
