Mark Nye
“Any bass player that uses more than one bass in a gig, plays his basses up high, plays too many notes and thinks he should be seen as a musician is an 80s dinosaur.” Unfortunately Mark ticks all of the derided boxes and still finds time to be rude to the audience.
Along with Frank, Mark was there at the bitter beginning of The Bridge and like a clucking hen, likes to fuss. Mark has played in his fair share of local bands, usually being asked to leave on trumped up charges of forgetting he was, “only the bloody bass player!”, and has found a happy home amongst other trumped-up charges. Mark has attributed wearing his bass so high to providing a rest for his chins. Like most of the band he is also a keen wearer of wigs on stage, and refutes his wife’s claim that, “there’s stuff living in that curly mop.” I’ll let you draw your own conclusions.
