Keen musician with local venue/pub gig experience as part of a 5-piece cover band doing covers of multiple genres spanning the last 5 decades, and reimaginings of smash hits in a different style.
The band is sadly moving on due to having to move across the county for work, but I have the bug! I wish to build a joint career in music playing professionally around my job - and see where it goes.
Very keen to start a new/multiple musical ventures with a view to playing functions and regular gigs. I have a decent working setlist currently (40+ tunes) and always up for learning more! I regularly practice and would be willing to work flexibly to maintain a good regular practice/gig schedule.
I have dabbled with and continue to write original music and am open to writing original work alongside cover work.
