Band to Join.ABOUT
I am a bass player looking for an engaging project to get involved in .- could be ska/2tone, could be in the style of Flogging Molly , could be upbeat covers band - as long as i can see an audience bouncing along to it i dont mind .
Playing live is my fave thing to do - not so worried about recording but have done a little .
Have had a lot of live experience in and around Bristol, Somerset and Wiltshire playing bass instruments in various bands with various flavours of style ranging from skiffle and folk to ska and punk .
