Mark Walker

Unlike most of the rest of the band, Mark is an untrained musical ignoramus. He only got the Tangata job because someone had to be the oldest.

Mark’s serious music career hasn’t begun yet. However, in the late ‘70s (yes, he is that old) he toured with the groundbreaking “Oscar the Frog”, combining funk, rock, reggae and roots long before it became fashionable with the chattering classes. Mark still has 500 Oscar the Frog albums in a box in the loft – email mark@tangata.co.uk if you’d like to snap one up for a snip at £10.00. Buyer collects. No PayPal.

In the long intervening years, Mark has performed and recorded a huge variety of musical
genres with a dazzling array of unknowns. Most notably:

• Gary Slack
• Patterns in Peru
• Sense
• The Jazz Juniors
• Big Deal
• Five Go Off (www.fivegooff.co.uk)
• Da Dog
• The Tender Trap
• Moose Malloy (www.moosemalloy.com)
• Goose McCoy (50’s & 60’s hits, available for parties and Bahmitzvas)

And now, this bunch too

Mark‘s basses are hand made by the wonderful English luthier, Hugh Manson (thanks Hugh xxx.). Visit www.mansonguitars.co.uk for a real treat.

Ashdown amplification and Elite bass strings (35’s) are also highly regarded.
