Band to Join, Vocalist, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Keyboard.ABOUT
April 23 update: Live audio tracks listed (mistakes and all). Why don't hardly any people put audio samples on here otherwise, I may not be interested!
These are a collection of folk, African, Jazz, Rock and a cover number. Experienced drummer available for band or deps. History includes rock clubs, festivals, radio and Theatre, 3 to 20 piece bands. Good musicians with a professional approach only please. All styles from rock to reggae but prefer music with some sort of soul, good arrangements, grooves and dynamics. Good gear and memory and I have no time for people who have egos or/and can't play/sing properly. Sorry but I won't waste my time if that is the case.
I also design and wire professional recording studios.
Now based in Taplow Bucks. Contact via profcon AT (substitute for AT in email address). Also on FB (look for the icon of me playing drums). Thanks from J i m L a s s e n.

CALENDAR
Past Events
Any musicians and bands with a different slant on things rather than playing the same old covers? Maybe Smoke on the Water as a swing feel. Maybe Honky Tonk Woman in a Reggae style if you have to play these covers!
Otherwise, give me some funk or soul and be different.
Does the High Wycombe area have any good funky musicians or is it just populated by classic covers and modern alternative rock outfits?
