I joined Irish band 'Whiskey in the Jar' back in March 2012 playing my trusty Yamaha SLB200 upright bass (affectionately known as 'The Swordfish'!). I enjoy every minute playing with these guys. This must be the first band I have played in where ego counts for nothing! The band play mostly around Northwest England however, bookings in Ireland, Scotland, Yorkshire and London are not uncommon for the band: www.witj.co.uk <img src="https://api.walster.co.uk/uploads/file-1753711910045-679287512.JPEG" /><h6 class="ql-align-center">left to right: Jamie Knowles - Wal Walster - <a href="https://paul.walster.co.uk/post/bands/brendan-comer-singer-caller-gentleman" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Brendan Comer</a> - Phil Taylor</h6><h6> </h6> I have really enjoyed the last 12 months playing bass with Irish band 'Whiskey in the Jar'. We played lots of great gigs and I got on particularly well with founding member Phil Taylor.Most memorable for me was the Rainbow Festival on the Isle of Bute in Scotland where I got to take my Wife and 2 year old girl... I would like to personally thank all the members for some great times particularly, top fiddle player Jamie Knowles for putting my name forward for the position in the first place. Looking at the band's website today, it looks like I wasn't in the band quite long enough to qualify for a mention on the history page anyhoo, do checkout the website: <a href="https://www.witj.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">witj.co.uk</a>
