SEEKING

Band to Join.

ABOUT

I am a mature musician with some years experience playing lead guitar at semi-pro level and am hoping to become involved in another band or individuals of any level.

Most recently I played in a Rock band playing our own material at most venues on the Birmingham rock circuit ie The Roadhouse & Scruffy Murphy’s, prior to that I played with a soul/R&B band and am open to making original music of any genre.

I have a cheerful personality and get along well with people, I also do not suffer with an inflated ego and consider playing to the song a priority rather than displaying my own abilities.
