ABOUT

I've been playing in bands semi seriously and for fun most of my adult life. Nowadays I play for fun and play the odd gig with the Covers band I'm in. I would like to start a new band to do original material and covers / reinterpretations with some people who like to experiment and swap instruments. I'm happy playing bass, guitar, synth, programming loops and drums and have even been seen playing a bit of trumpet, though I don't currently have one. I'm not averse to playing simple songs but don't want to shy away from more complicated ones, so long as they are fun to play. I'm thinking drums, keys, loops, male and female vocals, guitar and bass, but people who are happy to switch instruments according to what a song needs. I definately do not want to work with primadonnas or big egos.

I've uploaded a variety of tracks I've either written or co written on which I play either synth, bass or guitar including some purely electronic stuff so you can get an idea of the things I've done.
