Roger,
I am a fellow bass player, progressing beyond beginner status finally, and i’m wondering how to begin writing my own tunes. Bought a cheap old rust bucket with 6 strings on it to try and get some chord progressions going. Do you write entire songs by yourself, or would you leave certain parts open to the rest of the band you’re playing with. IG has an amazing way with words and i was wondering if he’s sometimes handed tunes to find lyrics to.

Also, I was wondering if you’ve seen many inflatable bananas on your tour so far?:)
See you at Wembley Arena in the winter!
Simon
