What Goes On #2 - David Baker (Ella Eyre / Rag'n'Bone Man)
Welcome to the second ever episode of What Goes On, a podcast about life in the music industry. Through a series of interviews with some rather spectacular human beings, we want to provide you with an insight into what it means to live and work in the music industry.
In today's episode, we are absolutely delighted to be joined by David Baker. David is a hugely talented session bass player who has worked with a dazzling array of artists including Ella Eyre and James Arthur. You can follow him on Instagram @thebakerloo

We've fixed the watermark that plagued last week's episode, but we've got a brand new technical issue for you to enjoy this week. We don't have any video footage from 11:05 until 17:44, so the screen does just go black for little bit. Sorry about this, we should be free from major technical issues from now on.
For those of you with limited time on your hands (or limited inclination to spend a whole hour watching this video), we've outlined some of the best places to dip in and out:
Who are you and where do you come from? 0:57
An amusing anecdote about a child, an ice cream and a very expensive car 2:20
When did you first pick up an instrument and how did you end up playing bass? 4:07
The importance of having a good teacher. 6:54
When did you first play in a proper band? 8:00
The merits of persistence ft. a man named Mullarkey. 9:52
The strengths and limitations of music in the education system and thoughts on getting jobs as a musician. 12:40
Dave tells us about his first big gig. 16:00
How do you actually get gigs? 17:41
How do rehearsals work for touring musicians? 19:20
Does anything change over the course of a tour? 24:00
Is it hard not to drink too much on tour? 27:20
Steve reveals surprising knowledge pertaining to Dave Grohl's sausages. 29:35
That time Dave accidentally got high on stage. 32:11
The difficulties in adjusting from being on tour to being at home. 35:30
Have you got any side projects? 41:05
We finally have a talk about gear! 44:43
A chat about latency and the invasion of the Battenbergs. 49:00
What would you say to your younger self? 52:00
What would your younger self say to you? 57:18
Goodbye! 58:25
We hope you enjoy/enjoyed the video. Please feel free like and/or subscribe and, should you ever be in West London, we would delighted for you to drop in and say hi at either Monty's or Audio Kitchen (or both).
