Bass Player: John Mole

Mole was born in Stratford, London. A member of Jon Hiseman’s Colosseum II, he went on to work with fellow band members Gary Moore and Don Airey. He also played with the UK jazz-funk band Morrissey-Mullen during the late 1970s, and as a session musician with artists such as Barbara Streisand and John Dankworth.

He was the first-call bassist for Andrew Lloyd Webber and played on the successful Cats and Starlight Express musicals during the 1980s and 1990s.

The transcription is in the Colosseum II vein but comes from the 1978 Gary Moore album, ‘Back On The Streets’. This is the album that launched Moore’s post-Thin Lizzy solo career.
