ABOUT

Hi, I'm interested in creative musical projects, ideally writing and recording original material and performing some live shows. I'm in a gigging and recording band already (Anything But Francis) and we play a few shows a year. So I generally have good availability for another band or project, although I'm not looking to gig every weekend.

I have a broad taste in music, but mostly I'm into alt rock, pop, indie, folk, americana, country, acoustic singer songwriters and motown/soul. Leaning more towards acoustic music, americana, indie and alt rock currently, but I'm open to anything interesting with the right mix of musicians and material.

I am easy going, reliable, a quick learner and good collaborator with my own transport and decent equipment. I mainly play guitar and bass plus electric drums and keys for song writing purposes, so would enjoy mixing things around where it's a viable option. I'm a solid musician but not a virtuoso and always prefer to put the songs first. I'm happy to perform a few unusual, fun or creative covers, although not really interested in covering the more overplayed staples.

I've played in bands at many gigs over the years (pubs, clubs, functions, festivals and weddings) and also a few live tracks on local radio and TV. This has usually involved performing original material. I also played with a covers band for 6 years and our setlists spanned a good range of genres. I have lots of experience recording in both professional and home studios too.

Please feel free to get in touch on here, or via my G(ee) mail (which has the same username as this Bandmix account, i.e. lukemusicuk at, with no additional special characters etc... I figured the 'UK' bit is better than a random number!). Thanks
