Band to Join.ABOUT
Many thanks for visiting my profile. At the time of this update in July 2024 I am playing regularly in one 'permanent' band and very occasionally depping in another. ! am currently looking to join a second band which can be playing just for fun or something more serious including gigging.
In terms of what I've done music-wise, I started out playing jazz at school at a time when the Beatles were still together as a band - you can do the maths ! I played for about ten years in total all around Liverpool, my home town, and then all around Nottingham, my college town.
Coming down to the West Country in the 90s, most notably I played for the best part of a decade with the Devon-based seven-piece Dire Straits tribute - 'Dire Traits'. This band played all over the South of England as well as making a couple of forays over to festivals in France and Holland.
Since then I've engaged in various other musical projects including the Cullompton-based 'Slow Burn Blues Band', the Torquay-based all-originals band, 'Crow Road' and the Dartmoor-based ceilidh/folk-rock band, 'Banned From The Moor'.
My current band is 'No Messin' Blues' which is self-explanatory. Check it out on our Page of the same name.
If you've read this profile so far, thanks for your interest and I'm always open to have a conversation.
All the best and Keep Music Live ! Cheers, Phil
