"A natural raconteur with a droll turn of phrase" The Guardian

If you missed him in Soho in December, here is another chance for you to witness the brilliance and hilarity of legendary bassist Guy Pratt. After his phenomenal critical success at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe last August, Guy brings his very personal take on life on the road and in the studio to London in the New Year.

"An hour of rip-roaring anecdotes" **** The List

Join him on an often raucous, always hilarious journey from teenage bedroom to world-class stadium as, armed with only his Bass Guitar, he relates his story of life at the epicenter of the mayhem that we, the record buying public, know fondly as the Music Industry. Set mainly during the madness of the 1980's Guy recounts extraordinary tales of life on the road - and off the wall - with some of the giants of Music including Pink Floyd, Madonna and Michael Jackson.

"What tales he has to tell." **** The Independent

Guy's career in music took off when, at the tender age of 19, he was asked to join the, then massive, band Icehouse for a world tour, part of which included supporting David Bowie on the legendary "Serious Moonlight " tour of 1983. This led to him being asked to perform with Robert Palmer, Bryan Ferry, Womack & Womack, and even The Smiths, to name but a few, before being thrust into the global premier league of bassists when David Gilmour asked him to play for Pink Floyd. Most recently he has toured with Roxy Music. Guy has also won a Grammy and been nominated for 2 Ivor Novello Awards.

"He regaled the audience with hilariously indiscreet anecdotes about the stars he's worked with" Toby Young,The Spectator

"Pratt is pretty bloody hilarious." The Irish Times

"Limos, Lear jets and transit vans, it's all funny with Guy. well limos and Lear jets anyway." Johnny Marr
