What I Do

I'm a bass player!

I primarily play electric bass though I do dabble in synth bass too. My strengths lie in the funkier side of things, but I've played everything from gospel through to metal - fingerstyle, picked and slapped.

I'm well versed in short notice dep gigs, function sets, studio recordings and remote recordings, all to an expert standard.

All of my most recent work is available on Instagram: @logankettlebass.

For live performance examples, please check out my showreel here. More can be found on my youtube channel.

For studio recording examples, please check out my portfolio playlist here, or any of the bands on the projects page!

'Logan has stepped in several times over the last few years to help us out. Not only to play bass but to do our sound. He helps with unloading and loading all our equipment as well as setting up. He would be an asset to any band, a player who only gets better everytime we hear him'

Suzi Adger - Vocalist/Frontwoman for 'Angelheart'

'I really enjoyed working with Logan He was always reliable, showed up prepared to gigs and rehearsals, and was professional throughout. He’s a talented bassist, easy to work with, and brought a calm and positive attitude to performances and practices alike.

Logan was also supportive as a team member and easy to communicate with, which made working together very smooth. I’d happily work with him again in the future and would recommend him to other musicians looking for a dependable and skilled bassist.'

Mary Franz-Sampan - Vocalist/Frontwoman

Live Sound

Aside from bass, I also have experience in stagehand and live sound engineering work. I run the sound for my function band Just After Midnight (available for weddings, parties and pubs!), and have previously mixed part of the South Glos Show, as well as a smattering of other smaller gigs and events.

Because of this I usually end up as the 'tech support guy' which is a role I'll gladly accept.

In the near future, I'm looking to start doing small-scale PA hire, so keep an eye out if that interests you!

Instrument Building & Maintenance

My other interests are in luthiery, instrument fixing and general DIY. I have built my own instruments from scratch and I routinely do setups on my fellow band-mates instruments.

I also worked in a rehearsal studio for 4 years so I can quick-fix most broken equipment. Looking at you, drummers.
