Richard Pryors' Pebbleman

It it the band with the little energetic dude on vocals? If it is, I saw them a few weeks back. Rocking stuff ?

These guys are awesome. Saw a video of them perform at a weekly music club (every Monday evening, I think) called the Barleycorn.

Quite awesome.

Richard does teach here in Cape Town, I actually contacted him earlier today to find out his rates and I must say that it's a little on the pricey side but I suppose that it's warranted with him being such a great player and all.

Thanks Alan.

Wow... That Jody guy certainly has a voice on him hey? ?

I've seen the bassist do a workshop once before at Paul Bothner's in N1 City Value center with Shaun Johannes and another guy, can't remember what his name is but man can those guys play!

And of course the incomparable Kevin Gibson on drums. Such a tight drummer.

Would love to go to him but unfortunately at this moment in time, I won't be able to afford it.

yes, Jesse Jordan... Have no idea where Jody came from. ?

Thanks for the correction.

Rob is such an awesome bassist.
Thank you for that bit as well ?

I wasn't 'shouting' btw , letters were bold , so you that could read in-between all the lines and previous comments ... ?

When I was in Cpt recently , a mutual friend arranged that I could meet Richard for a 'lesson' during the holiday period . We chatted about a practise regimen for me and about gear and pedals etc.
Awesome player and a very cool guy with a great sense of humour . I bought the cd from him as well.
Try get the cd .....its great .

Hahahaha... Hadn't even crossed my mind ?

Yeah, I picked up that he has quite a great sense of humour from the email response he gave me. ?

Nice that you had the opportunity to have a lesson with him though.
I'm hoping to have a few lessons with him some time later in the year though. I believe that it would be well worth it.

I do plan on getting the CD, they certainly make great music.

Norman86

awesome tune that!
Must investigate them further ?

Pebbleman are pretty cool but as far as lessons go I'd advise going to Renesongs (on the forum, and disclaimer: a band mate) because he is far more versatile in terms of styles he can play (and therefore teach). Lives in same area too.

This is good stuff.

That was an option but unfortunately he lives way too far from me. ?

Yep, Goodwood is definitely a drive! There'll be someone nearby (after all Bellville is right there and that is/was the epicentre of Cape original music).

Thank you.

I'm actually looking for a few recommendations?
I posted in the lessons sections.
