SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I have been playing bass over 50 years. Now I am retired I have more time to devote to music. Lately I have been playing Big Band/Swing using double bass and bass guitars. I have recently joined a Mandolin Orchestra playing classical music. I also enjoy blues and country and have played many styles over the years. I am a proficient reader and can busk. I have some home studio equipment centred around Cubase so I can record remotely.
