My guest is one of the UK’s finest, high-profile bass players, Dave Swift.
He joined Jools Holland and His Rhythm and Blues Orchestra in 1991 and his career, which expands beyond three decades, boasts a musician’s portfolio that seconds no other - playing with an array of renowned artists, from George Benson and Chaka Khan to Adele, BB King, Hall & Oates, Noel Gallagher, Paul McCartney and Paul Simon along with the main man that we're all here to talk about Paul Weller!
Paul has been on Later... with Jools Holland / Jools' Annual Hootenanny more than any other guest and many of his performances would be filed in the archive as iconic classics!
Here are just a few...
Paul Weller - Will It Go Round In Circles Jools Holland Hootenanny 1998
Dave Swift on Bass with Jools Holland backing Paul Weller "I Forgot to be your Lover"
