Been in a number of gigging bands in all styles (Rock, Pop, Funk, R&B, Blues, Acoustic), recently played at both the NEC and ICC in Birmingham.
Currently looking for a committed covers band, playing pop, funk and rock across the decades who are currently or in the process of securing regular corporate work with supplemental pub/club gigs. No heavy metal please!
