SEEKING

Band to Join, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar.

ABOUT

Ageing rock musician. Very experienced, played semi-professionally in event bands, Celtic Rock Bands and Rock bands all over Europe and UK. Looking to settle down locally to what I like most now at my age, rock covers and possibly original material if appropriate.
Just recently moved to North Ayrshire, looking to join a local pub/club rock band.
Main experience is within traditional rock bands (i.e. not metal). Not a front singer but can provide backing vocals and have own mic, monitor etc.
