Anthony Harty

Harty famously kick-started his career by striding into Paul Weller's Style Council auditions as a brash 16-year-old and landing the bass guitarist's slot in the legend's post-Jam incarnation.

Since then, the 43-year-old multi-instrumentalist has played with a glittering Who's Who of memorable line-ups, over 100 artistes and bands, including SpecialBeat, Badfinger and The Truth, and roped in some major talent to help with his eagerly-awaited solo project.
