Welsh bass guitarist Alun Vaughan has released an 8 track download album called "The Kindness Of Strangers" with all proceeds being donated to MS Society to help research into, and support for people living with Multiple Sclerosis. Alun Vaughan - 6 string bass guitar, guitar loops on "Elegy" "Alun's a wonderful bassist. He uses his technical command of the instrument and his broad musical understanding to create music that's rich and beautiful. He's an important voice in this emerging world of solo bass." Michael Manring , leading solo bassist "Very nice, great tone and really solid ideas in each track" Bryan Beller, bassist (Dethlok, Steve Vai, Mike Keneally) "This is a wonderful and surprising record, not your typical "solo bass" record as its so melodic and clever. Some of the playing reminds me more of Joe Pass than bass noodling. I was so pleased Alun did my song Big Sky, its a brilliant version. The melodic invention is inspirational." Matt Stevens, guitarist and solo artist "The album is a real gem, sparkling with his not inconsiderable musical skills. For what a comparison is worth, Alun’s playing reminds me a little bit of the solo bass work of Colin Hodgkinson" Wulf's Web-den "It's a solo bass players album for people who hate solo bass players albums. My blood usually freezes in my veins when I hear the words 'bass solo album' but this is actually really very good. Just really good tunes which happen to be played on bass by a really tasteful player.You've converted me" G. Jones,Basschat
