ABOUT

I have played in various bar bands over the years (I'm pretty ancient now), and now looking to arrange occasional (probably fortnightly) get-togethers with others (Bass, Drums, Keys, Guitar, Vocals - although I hope to get my friend and former band's female singer along too...) at a rehearsal studio in York to just have a loose jam and run-through - some easy songs for fun, just to have a pleasant and fun time - 12 bar blues and Stones-type rock. Nothing complicated, just easy songs we can all have a go at without too much pre-prep required, and no massive egos - just a pleasant evening and maybe a beer afterwards...
