Astrid has worked with various musicians including bassist Spy, Yosi Marshall, David Philips, Danny Bryan, Roland Shaw, Robin Scott, Matt Condon and Steve Hazlehurst. Her band 'Threadlines' consists of fabulous musicians including:

Spy - Bass player

Spy has been playing reggae bass for more than 20 years. He has performed and toured with some of Jamaica's most prominent artists and groups such as Gregory Issacs, Desmond Dekker, Earl 16, I Roy, Mikey General, I Jah Man Levi as well as with British reggae artists such as Boy George, Mad Professor, Drumhead, Progressive Sounds Crew and Benjamin Zephaniah. Spy provides a solid back line, but moves effortlessly from ‘solid’ to ‘explosive’ as a groove develops.
