SEEKING
Vocalist.ABOUT
I'm an experienced bass player and guitarist with over 30 years of gigging experience in original and tribute/covers bands. I am looking for a new vocalist to complete the line-up of our new covers band focussing on 80's/90's/00's alternative rock and pop. Current members are based in Leeds, Wakefield and Sheffield and we tend to rehearse in Leeds or Sheffield at Pirate Studios.

Influences
Too many to mention. I love rock, pop and soul. Favourite and most plagiarised & influential bass players are Pete Trewavas, Nick Beggs, Dug Pinnick, Geezer Butler, Sting, Geddy Lee, Chris Squire, Arion Salazar, John Paul Jones, Peter Hook. In fact, all of them. I've robbed ideas off everyone at some point. That's what it's all about! These days I am mostly playing lead guitar in covers bands, for which I am influenced by anything and everything.
