Hi, I love playing any sort of bass/lead/acoustic guitar, ideally mixing it up in trhe same band (can knock out a few chords on keys too) and maybe sing a bit. Wide taste of music but I can do fair Brian May/Dave Gilmore/Hendrix/Steve Hillage impersonations on lead I mostly play a 6 string fretless bass but can do most styles but don't slap. I'm looking to join any sort of band that just wants to make excellent quality music, covers or original, do a few gigs (upto 2/month) and have a load of fun. Bur, I can't take on too much commitment and I have no aspirations to 'make it big'!
For info, I've been regularly leading worship, singing & playing guitar & leading an ad-hoc band of 4 - 8 in a local contemporary church (think U2/Coldplay) with a congregation of upto about 350. But I'm desperate to just get out there and have some fun before I die!
I've got all my own clobber & transport & teeth
