Band to Join.ABOUT
Update Jan 2018: Currently looking for a band to join.
I am a mature (i.e. 60) Rock/Blues/Soul bassist looking to join or form local(ish) band (eg. within 25ish miles of Daventry), for regular gigging and fun.
I’ve been playing bass seriously for about 6 years, and would class myself as competent and reliable, but not flash (- no slapping!).
If you are looking for someone who has a repertoire of hundreds of songs, or can reproduce a bass line after one listen, or wants to play more than an occasional modern pop song, then I’m probably not for you.
However, if you’re after someone who will work hard to learn new material, and make a full contribution to the band, then I might be the one you’re looking for.
I have played with a couple of bands doing a variety of Classic Rock, both old time and newer blues, and old time R&B (E.g. Free, purple, Hendrix, BB king, Freddy King, Ben E King, Kinks, George Thorogood, T-Bone walker, Dr Feelgood, Fleetwood Mac, Robert Palmer, SRV, Van Halen, GnR, Marillion , Stones etc). I love this stuff, but am up for anything vaguely in the same vein.
Reasonable gear and own transport.
PS: I know a Sax/Piano player who is also looking for a band to join.
I am not a paying member here, so you'll have to contact me!
