I'm 48 yrs old and look it! I've been playing in bands on and off since i was a teenager (always the singer) and have been with my current band for the last 11 years in one format or another. Lately the band have been heading towards classic rock (AC/DC, Bad Co etc etc) which really isn't my thing, although we do nail the songs really well and i've surprised myself with how accurate the vocals are. I didn't know i could hit those high notes!! I love gigging, the bigger the better and want to be in a band that is actually going somewhere. I'm happy to gig anywhere, travel is not a problem. I have my own pro PA ans some lights plus a van to drag it all round in.
