 | "It's true,
Nathanael enjoys Bluegrass..."
Whilst at high-school, Nathanael wanted to learn the cello, but there were no cellos left for hire, so he took the opportunity of beginning lessons on viola and double bass, and enjoyed participating in the school orchestras and chamber groups.
Nathanael enjoys playing Double Bass for Country Gospel & Bluegrass music sessions, and also plays occasionally as an orchestral bassist.

In the 1995 photo above, Nathanael is playing double bass in the Cashmere Community Orchestra. Little did he realise then, that the cellist in the foreground - Mike Clayton - would serve as the sound technician for the majority of his future recordings.
