ABOUT

Hello.

My name is Adam Findlay and I have been a guitarist and singer for 11 years. I have worked alongside a variety of bands and line ups over the years.

My music career started at school through Jazz, Funk and Blues ensembles but progressed into a couple of working bands as well as a busy solo acoustic pub career. My acoustic career lead me to perform as support for Leeds band, The Dunwells, who are now going strength in the United States.
On attending University, I joined a band which I fronted and formed called Silent Circus who won Huddersfield University Battle of the Bands 2011 after 4 months of being together. From here, we released an EP and toured. Silent Circus supported One Night Only and Futures.

Since Silent Circus, I have focused on developing my singing voice through vocal training and also progressing my guitar work through constant practice and performance with local musicians. My aim is to join, form or jam with a group of like minded individuals who are as committed and relaxed as me about their goals and musical ambitions.

I am a very easy person to work with, full of creative ideas with knowledge in the music business and marketing techniques of bands. I have an extensive repertoire of covers that I know already and would be very interested in sharing my songwriting ability with other artists and musicians.

If you have absolutely any questions, please feel free to ask.

** I have all my own guitar equipment and a 800 Watt vocal PA suited to duo work or small function band **
