I was a little kid when Kajagoogoo was a band and I never knew they had a bass god until a month ago when I paid to see Berlin and Culture Club but got blown away by Howard Jones who I never heard a song from ever and his bassist. I was captivated by Nick. Couldn't take my eyes off him.

Nick Beggs you had me at Too Shy all those years ago. For me one of my all time favourite bass players right up there with my hero Mark King. And still cool AF.
@ZBB0001 Жыл бұрын
Even though I have seen Mark King play some of the bass parts of his bands work, I always think it's some kind of trick. It's that unbelievable. And when Beggs said to Wilson, "I've got a great idea for a Chapman Stick part for your song about a collector" even Wilson was blown away, NOT an easy feat, and the part was accepted immediately for the live version in the supporting tour. Let me add that the Chapman Stick is a VERY difficult instrument to play. Oh, and by the way, Beggs is the best instructor I have EVER worked with, bar none. Easily in the company of Levin, King and Pastorius. Thanks for your consideration.

So this guy plays a monster bass riff back in the eighties, then drops off my musical radar until a few nights ago when I'm comparing old Genesis tracks played by later Genesis incarnation or Steve Hackett. There's Nick doing a phenomenal job with Steve, and slapping myself round the head thinking "must do better at following these uber talented people from ages ago" because talent is talent and it endures. Sorry for not keeping up with your output Nick, you're a legend and I've only just found out... *Slopes off hanging head in shame*

I Took my mother on long hall walk through the city of Pretoria in South Africa back in the 80's actually looking for a Depeche Mode album. I did not even know the name of the group or names of songs and I just kept listing to albums the shops would play on the turn table for me after giving a description. Then someone put Kajagoogoo on the turn table. So I said well I think that is it and my Mother bought the Album. Back home I realized it wasn't Depeche Mode - but I listened to that album over and over and did not regret it an ounce. Good days!!

My son persuaded me to go and see SW in Bielefeld 10 years ago. When I got there I couldn’t (eventually) believe SW had recruited my all time favourite bassist (following on from “Too Shy” - one of the greatest bass lines of all time, played with such consummate ease). He was a lot more scrawny than I remembered, and I actually thought he was a female bassist right up to the point that SW revealed him as “Sir Nick Beggs”. There was no mistaking that infectious Beggs smile though.
