Passion is defined as a “strong and barely controllable emotion” which brings us to a Central London bred bass player named Phil Spalding. From Terminal Studios in beautiful downtown Bermondsey, Phil (Robbie Williams, Skin, Roger Taylor, Sir Elton John, The Who, Right Said Fred, GTR, Toyah, Original Mirrors, Bernie Marsden, Terence Trent D’Arby, Seal, Ray Charles, Mick Jagger, Melanie C, Joe Cocker….) recalls his formative years: a teenage mom who brought home all the coolest 45s from The Who, The Troggs; hanging out in the coffee bars at the Fender Sound House, Pete Townshend, Seymour Duncan, following Thin Lizzy from gig to gig, learning bass riffs from Roger Glover, Chris Squire, Trevor Bolder, JJ Burnel.
