lauriem + Musician in Norfolk, EN

ABOUT

Marketing consultant living in Dereham, Norfolk.

I've been playing guitar for longer than I dare try to remember, and played with several covers bands you'll never have heard of, 'cause they were based in Berkshire. Mixture of pub blues-rock, tribute and general party covers. Can probably adapt to most styles as long as it's nothing too complicated. I also sing occasionally and when there are no bassists about on jam nights I have been known to help out there, too.

Currently only available for dep work now and then as I'm involved in regular gigs with FireWire doing party rock covers (www.firewireband.co.uk), Avenue Acoustic Duo covering classic and contemporary songs (www.avenueacoustic) and Listen With Mother/The Men from Uncle Barry focused on sixties covers (www.unclebarry.co.uk).

I'm interested in local jams, depping and generally hanging around with musos of a similar bent.
