Emma + Band in Brighton and Hove, EN

SEEKING

ABOUT

Hi there! my name is Emma Ako and I've just moved to Brighton and am looking to get two bands together. One is for my acoustic material so I'll need a guitarist, bassist and percussionist. Every now and then I'll do something different like get brass/flute/whatever - i just like to go with the flow.

The other band is an Afrobeat band and I'll need some seriously dedicated people on board coz I want to get out there asap! I'll need a drummer, percussionist, guitarist, saxophone x2 (bass & alto) trumpet and maybe keys. I've had ideas and songs already for both bands so we can get going straight away but I'm also looking forward to jamming and letting loose!
