John Giblin – Bass

This guy should have had more credit than he received. He did a lot of great work with artists like Jon Anderson, Kate Bush, Chris De Burgh, John Martyn and many others but, for some reason, he seldom gets referenced. A very distinctive fretless voice from the 1980s, her played a lot of the bass parts on one of my favourite Jon Anderson albums, ‘Song Of Seven’. This track is pretty much a simple repeating line with minimal variation but it absolutely did the job on the track which was to create a certain Gospel feel. The tune is ‘Don’t Forget (Nostalgia) from the 1980 Anderson album referred to above.
