I couldn't agree more. And she's a stunner to boot.

Probably THE BEST interview you have done. By script or accident, you'all covered an absolutely wide range areas of music, technique, craft and being a real person. Yolanda is so sweet and a charming person. Lee- you must get her back on in a year or two to go over what has happened with her solo projects and band(s). I know there is much more here, and you guys click as far as discussion 😊

Watched the first 15 mins when it was released, commented about the good laugh about diff. between bassists and guitarist... now, I've watched the rest, and yeah. Absolutely agree with your comment. This was a truly fantastic interview.

Great interview! Yolanda is a fantastic musician, and all round lovely person :)

What an incredible person. So well grounded. So refreshing to see someone focused on being happy and doing what they want making it all happen rather then injecting themselves in everyone elses issues. Great interview. Now I have to go seek out more about who she is as a musician. Thanks once again for presenting yet another amazing human being to Andertons and the Captain.

Yolanda and The Captain. Actually, a very musical conversation, flow, crescendos, rhythm. Joy, humor, stories, emotion - a master class in how interview and how to learn music vocation. Brilliant!!

She's awesome. Her impression of Paul Weller is spot on!

Bass lines as melody - YESSS!!! Yolanda's shout-out to Aston Barrett is Exhibit A for bass lines as melody. Bass players like Dennis Bovell, Robbie Shakespeare and Family Man are my biggest musical influences. James Jamerson's work on What's Going On is absolutely sublime.

Another brilliant in-depth interview from Andertons. What a beautifully talented, warm hearted, intelligent, humble, engaging musician and human being . Go Yolanda....!

I'm not British, I never heard of her before while I've played bass for 30 years now.. I definitely have heard of Jimmy Sommerville, Paul Weller, The Police, Squeeze, etcetera. That's a really impressive resume. I loved this interview, she seems like such a nice person. I'm definitely going to check out her work. Thanks for the introduction.

I think the Live Wood era 93-94 Paul Weller band live sound is among the best live British rock sounds ever. Everyone in that band was a genius, and they were such a good fit. You can find many of those videos on KZread, worth a few listen.

Check her out on Phil Gould's album, Watertight. If you're not familiar with him, he was the original drummer in Level 42. Watertight is fantastic, as well as the follow-up, Beautiful Wounds.

Loved this interview. What a lovely lady - refreshing to hear someone talk about what it is to be a perfect sideman, know your role and what you are being paid to do. No ego whatsoever - all about what is best for the song and keeping her employer happy. No wonder she has had such a stellar career. ❤

Such a lovely lady

I saw her on TV years ago and I videoed it, I think it was called "Yolanda's Bass" and they built her a Bass, interesting program and it stuck in my memory. Great lady, cheers Lee

Yolanda doesn’t age. I remember first learning about her years ago when I stayed up late one night watching something on the BBC and seeing her go into The Bass Gallery. What a cool player! And somehow now looks 15 years younger than me!

I briefly chatted with yolanda at the british musjc show at the excel over a decade ago. She was performing in a booth, singing and bass. Great voice, phenomenal bassist. She was promoting The Deep Mo ep at the time. Great talent. And lovely person as well.

@Andertons_music_co SCUM!!

Saw her doing a session at the London Bass show 2015 and she was trading licks with Federico Malaman. Absolutely mesmerising to watch. Very talented.

The videos of Live Wood, the first couple years of Weller doing his "solo" career in 93-94 just blow my mind every time. Every member of that formation was so incredible and they were just so good together. Probably my favorite live sound of any rock band ever. Yolanda was a great fit. Amazing interview! cheers

That was brilliant. Wonderful player and her story was super interesting to listen too

Wow, so impressed! Yolanda, you are a real legend!

One word.....WOW!!!!.... Thank you Yolanda and Captain.........

What a down to earth interview. Kudos! Really enjoyed this 🙏

This was awesome, top work Captain !

Yes!!! Please, more bass players! Especially female! 😍

Yolanda is amazing ❤

What an inspiring musician. Thanks for a great interview

Great interview and she seems a lovely person

Comes across as a very positive person with a great outlook and massively talented. Refreshing.

There is a skill to interviewing, part of which is knowing when to speak and not interrupting the interviewee constantly in order to recount your own anecdotes. It really spoils the experience of listening...please consider this.

Wow,what a mesmerising lady.Really enjoyed this one.

Brilliant Interview guys - Congratulations and Thank you !

Love her philosophy on not collecting instruments so it can go to someone who can play the other. That’s really cool

Best Andetons interview to date, I did not know Yo before this! Awesome down to earth, ego-less person, just looked at her work, now already a fan.

What a refreshing interview! 🥰

Yolanda is great! I first saw her in Hans Zimmer's band, actually I think I remember her from the Saturday Zoo band too, superb player and I thought she was 20 something..

Great interview! Yolanda's playing on Weller's ‘Live Wood’ album is outstanding 👏

I'd never heard of this lady but she's absolutely pure class. Fantastic interview and lots of interesting insights.

Yolanda,such a inspiration!!great interview..🎸🎸

What a beautiful person!!! Thanks for this wonderfully refreshing interview.

Wow, what a pleasure to watch and listen to Yolanda. There are still actual good people out there. Really enjoyed this interview.

Omgoodness I love this woman's personality!!What a ray of sunshine,plus she plays a JBass!!♥️🤖🎛️📼

And there we have. A brilliant insightful interview with a hugely talented musician. Outstanding on all levels.

So great to Yolanda Charles on the channel!

I really enjoy how you do such good interviews Lee! Thanks for what you do! Enjoyable to watch and informative.

I wish I could play the guitar well enough to be in Yolandas' Band, what a fantastic gig that would be.

Man, what an awesome interview. I primarily play guitar but Yolanda has me looking at those 5 strings basses 👀

Thanks guys. As a guitar player, i had never really realised or experienced Yolanda Charles as a personality before so this episode was great. Such a fine person and a great talent.

Looking and sounding Fabulous Yolanda !!!😊

What a cool, nice person 🎶

Great bass player - thank you. Always good to see a Captain Meets with a bass player

This beautiful lady doesn't look a day over 30! Such a cool person!

Proof that the bass halts the aging process

Really, really nice interview, and thank you for introducing me to Yolanda! What a fascinating person and player, and her perspectives on both life and music are really valuable. Great stuff!

This was fabulous. A beautiful personality, woman and player, Yolanda really is the real thing...a true spirit. I know her somewhat from several encounters over the years and am always totally enamoured by the sheer positivity she exudes, whether just chatting or playing. The last time I saw her perform was at the Frankfurt Musik Fair in 2014(ish), where she and her superb drummer at the time were with supremo guitarist Greg Koch in a massive marquee packed with avid musos and industry types watching in awe. Though the Sting gig would have introduced her to an even bigger audience, from what she says at the end she is happy to walk away from stardom in pursuit of her own world. I'm surely not the only one who can relate to that. Sting certainly would. Once again, thank you. More Yolanda, please.

Great interview really enjoyed this , also Jeff Beck you inspired me like no other Guitarist RIP my friend

Great video, really enjoyed listening to Yolanda.

What a amazing person and musician

Great stuff Captain, I will definitely look up Yolanda's work. Another great interview.

Loved the feel, musicality, and energy Yolanda brought to Squeeze. Great gigs, great lineup.

What a fantastic interview - well done 👍 Absolutely riveting story of her life and a very honest reflection on her career. I knew who she was from previous sessions, but that Purple Rain tribute in the Hans Zimmer band was just another level! Wow 🤩

one of the best conversations. i'd love to hear yolanda and yvette young play together, just need a drummer with a y. ❤️

One of THE best low-enders!! And such a grounded person and musician.

I am a massive fan of Yolanda. Great player and a great person! I first saw her playing with Paul Weller and I've always been interested to see who she has played with over the years. The Sting gig would've been class

Thank you for this video! And introducing me to a new role model

I had never heard of her before that but now I can say she is agreat player and has an amazing personality and energy. Also we have to give some flowers to the capain for being a great interviewer, all of the interviews that he does are natural, funny and have a really nice flow.

I saw Yolanda play many times with Paul Weller. Superb player.✌😎✌Great video.

Yolanda has an incredibly holistic approach to being a musician with a very conscious approach to choosing where, why and when to collaborate or to lead. I learned a lot better as a band leader of how to communicate with those in my band. Outside of the joy of playing every band member has completely different reasons to be in my band. I must be honest it is much easier to see the big picture because of this interview. I do not mean to but I am sure I must often steam roller over my band members at times. I am sure I can get not just the same results but better results by seeing how they see things at the time.

Attitude is EVERYTHING. Yolanda wins

Had the chance to see Yolanda at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Bar in April. Not a single weak link in the band (Yolanda Charles Project PH). Incredible musician!

Great interview! What a down to earth person Yolanda is! 😀

"Thee greatest Artist Interview I've experienced anywhere in a good long time". 🤔😎 I have got to "GET BACK" its does appear "LONDON'S CALLING" me again. 🦊TALLY HOOOO ! 🎼🎶🎹🎸🛫

As a kid, and still today. I have always been intrigued by women involved in music in what was considered unconventional for women. Playing drums, guitar and bass. Especially rock and metal. Need to see more women involved. And she just mentioned two of my favorite drummers. 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽

she's been doing this for 30 years and I've been showing the video of her getting a custom bass built to my woodwork classes for about 20 years!

Yay, bass! :D ...didn't know who Yolanda is, but this was brilliant, she seems awesome and reflected and I learned a lot! Next time around -- get her to tell us the secret of not aging! :D

Awesome interview!!

Love Andertons and Love Yolanda Charles. A great meeting of minds and gear/kit. Great interview. Thank you. Groove is everything. Any decent band leader in any genre values their bassist as 50% of their wing wo(man)ship onstage - the other being a decent drummer. Without a decent bassist, a band cannot really lift off and it's fascinating to hear individual stories as to why musicians gravitate to the bass and stay there as the main thing. You do a very valuable job that will always be in demand! (more so than guitarists haha)

I like her attitude. For a sessioner of her stature, that is so refreshingly open and centered.

Great interview. Love her accent and Bass playing ability.

She’s wonderful.

What a wonderful inspiration.

girls a great bassist, excellent vid!

Lovely interview, lovely person.

I bought Raising Hell on its release day! Great stuff!

What a lovely lady and talent!

Thanks for sharing 👍

A touch of class.

Brilliant musician.....and a great person too.

What a pleasant person

Please interview the woman that plays guitar on CBeebies! I have no idea who she is, but the fact she plays a gold top on a TV programme aimed at pre-school kids must mean she's a badass!!

11:53 Lee: Is that the difference between bass players and guitar players? [both laugh] Yolanda: [whispers] ....But, YES. hahahaha Love it. Wonderful interview... the 10 minute length of the Growing Up & Influences section... nice it wasn't glossed over. And her statement that she didn't know 'how' to go about becoming a working musician... that's one of the great things about the internet age is that it's so much easier for young people to learn from those that have come before. New fan, here in the States. Her wonderful speaking accent doesn't hurt, either. ;)

Doing Purple Rain when you're that emotional is epic great job

She seems really nice, smiling throughout too.

I remember when I was the driver and occasional guest guitarist(now bassist) for Chapter and Verse( Black Whip etc) in the 90s and after our gig at the Brixton Academy, we all went over to a venue to see Raw Stylus a band that Yolanda played with in the early 90s. Our jaws were open wide when we heard her play. Such a super bass player.

Great interview!!Bring more bass playres !!

Really great interview!

She was on fire in Robbie Williams’ band

Saw her with Squeeze in DC. Wonderful. 😊

I have always loved Yolanda's playing ! And my Dad loved Pat Boone too :)

Such a charming woman in every aspect. Wow! It's hard to believe that she's been in the business for so long. She must live a very clean life.
