EP40 - Damon Minchella - Ocean Colour Scene / Weller Band - "When we sway, we sway as one, from the floorboards up!..."

My latest guest is described perfectly by @BritpopMemories as
'Probably the best bass player of his generation' - Damon
Minchella.


As a founding member of Ocean Colour Scene for 14 years, Damon
toured the world, scoring five top five albums and 15 top 20
singles (they even supported Paul at my first live Weller
experience in 1992!)


From 1994-2006, he doubled up as a member of Paul Weller’s band -
playing on hit albums - Heliocentric, Illumination, Studio 150
and As Is Now, along with plenty of Live LPs and DVDs.


Post Weller-Band, he has continued to work with Drummer, Steve
White in three bands - Trio Valore (with Justin Shearn / Seamus
Beaghen) Players (with Mick Talbot)  and The Family
Silver (with Matt Deighton).


At the same time his place as one of the UK’s most talented
bassists has seen him in much in demand - playing live or in the
studio with such rock ’n’ roll greats as Richard Ashcroft, Paul
McCartney, The Who, Jimmy Page, Dr John, Paolo Nutini and Amy
Winehouse.
