SEEKING

ABOUT

I am a singing keyboard player based in Essex. Been playing full time now for many (30+) years and have played all styles and genres with many different types of bands. I have worked on Cruise ships, Holiday Parks and toured with a number of showband/tribute acts.
I am busy most weekends with corporate and party bands but always up for new projects and deps - even last minute
I'm looking for singers to work with in small band/budget/duo jobs to fill the midweek dates in the diary.
Also, anyone wanting to join my Lockdown Jams channel (check my videos) everyone welcome - We are still recording content as it still has a good following and it is a lot of fun
