ABOUT

*** Drummer Wanted ***

Wanted: Drummer for a Country & Western/Americana covers band.

Greater London (North and South), SE London, home counties and Kent area.

I have put together a band of experienced musicians with different backgrounds who are united by their love of country music. Female singer, keyboard and fiddle player, Jasmine Ali, regularly performs on the Irish club circuit in London and has played in a number of tribute bands including Blondie UK. The two other singers, Andy Ryan and Paul Stoneham, are members of an in-demand shanty group, Swinging the Lead. As well as singing, Andy is the band leader and deals with the socials and admin. Along with vocals, Paul’s big contribution to the band sound is on the pedal-steel guitar and rhythm guitar as required. On lead guitar is Nicky Barker, songwriter, international touring musician, sound engineer and studio engineer. The bass guitarist is Pete Feldon, who plays regularly in a band well-known on the London swing dancing scene, Minnie and the Moochers. We have a number of drummers we can call on including Ed Gorrod who also plays with the country covers band Country Bound and Louis Rodney who is currently touring the UK with the Buddy Holly Tribute Band. Currently ready to gig and looking for bookings, just need a full-time drummer to complete.

You should be able to commit to rehearsals every 2-3 weeks in Greater London (North and South) or Kent alternating. More if we have a gig coming up and less if we don't. We use Banana Road Studios in Erith Kent, Pirate in Dalston and a few other rehearsal rooms North and South.

Don’t need a Dep or session player.

Looking for someone that wants to play the genre and join a new band made of old souls.
