Couchy + Musician in Haverfordwest, WA

SEEKING

ABOUT

Recently moved to Pembrokeshire and working out what is happening locally….

Singing with Jazzology quartet, always on the lookout for a Latin/acoustic guitarist for duo work with a jazz/latin/european feel, and would love to get a band going with a soul/r&b/funk feel to it… Oh and also a pop-up rockabilly thing for festivals would be fun… get in touch!

Have been lead vocals and keys in covers/function band (soul, pop, funk, latin, party!) and vocals with jazz trio, from laid-back acoustic jazz sound to full-on six-piece party band. Relocated to west Wales and looking for new projects.

Also have been a regular guest vocalist with junction 4 big band and other jazz orchestras in the south.
