Members Of Band
We are currently a five-piece band, with lead guitar, bass guitar, keyboard, drums and female vocalist. Plus manager. We occasionally alternate keyboard with tenor/alto sax.
We are NOT seeking any of the musicians which Bandmix has somehow listed above.
But we WOULD be interested in collaborating with another London-based songwriter or producer. We would also like to do a bit of studio work with a new VOCALIST - male or female.
EQUIPMENT
We have our own PA, mics, mic stands, leads, etc. All musicians have their own kit.
