SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Bass Guitar, Drums.ABOUT
Guitar player used to playing both lead and rhythm looking for existing band (ideally) or other like minded musos to start something, so long as it could be a band aiming to gig more and rehearse less. I'm told I'm pretty good, I have pro gear, I'm a fast learner, reliable and keen to be gigging. I'm also pretty competent at backing vocals. Try to ignore the age as I have more enthusiasm for playing than most 25 year olds, but I've been around the block enough to know what works when it comes to playing gigs and I know how important it is to learn the stuff and turn up when you're supposed to!
Looking to do this for fun not a living but hopefully with musos who share a pro attitude to the quality of the playing and actually giving an audience a good time.
Open to most kinds of material except heavy rock/metal and reggae, but would really prefer to avoid the usual suspects in terms of they same old covers that very other band plays. Willing to travel for the right outfit (could get to west edge of Staffs or just into Wales if necessary). Get in touch via stevegwynnes with whatever you're looking for - I NEED to be gigging!
