About me:-
Experienced and competent bassist. Mostly played classic rock and blues.
Having founded both Turner Street Crash and TCR, both successful covers bands in South Wales. On coming north, formed the GREEN BULLET BLUES BAND which lasted till the plandemic struck and now playing with a bunch of talented and experienced musicians with a real mix of pop, soft rock and basically anything that takes our collective fancy. Look out for THE SKIP MURDEN BAND.
My past set lists have included the likes of :- Dr. Feelgood, Free, Bad Company, Cream, Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, ZZ Top, Family, Nine Below Zero, Canned Heat, Joe Walsh, Sam & Dave,
Now playing No Doubt, Ace, Fleetwood Mac, Garbage, Bonnie Raitt, The Pretenders, Pink, so a pretty eclectic mix, but good fun.
