For 1st BASE, Mike has chosen songs from his solo repertoire that respond to being stripped back and reworked and that have a story to tell. Of course, Rudd is inclined to make a fascinating commentary about the songs he’s playing andthe bands that originally played them, so there are stories all round.

Butrumlis’ lyrical piano accordion in place of Spectrum’s Hammond organ is not as implausible as it sounds, and Jeremy’s double bass lines are all about restraint and intelligence, and so you can easily imagine the pair’s instrumental combination with Rudd’s nylon-string guitar, blues harp and even recorder playing, is sublime.
