ABOUT

If you are local to Heathfield, or see a musical connection find me on Join my band website where we are allowed to message other people.
I have got some audio of my own songs further down here that I recorded at home in the past ten years; and there are now quite a few more recent song of mine on youtube as well as these ones... have a listen and see if any thoughts come to mind of ideas we might work on together?

I was wondering about local pub gigs as a two-some where I back a good singer/guitar, but it is hard to find and I am starting to think I might go for bass player in a band playing originals... I cannot be arsed with covers, except perhaps for a bit of fun etc.

Most days at some time I am practicing playing bass guitar with foot drums... except in the winter my studio is too cold and I just play guitar in the house.
you can email me on: mdphillips1856

There are half a dozen of my songs in rough recorded form further down my profile; all were me pressing recording buttons as well as strumming and singing etc so they are a bit rough, but it shows some fairly recent writing of mine.
I have got several more recent songs but I had no way to make recordings... but one new song is on here as a youtube film clip, see: A night in Langney: to add above!

If anyone has made a small home studio around here and has no songs of their own to record, I am happy to be their guinea pig to record some songs either alone or with them in combination...

But with regard to the idea of live gigs, I think we want to see if we can make a good convincing sound before we commit to gigging.
