Due to circumstances beyond the bands control, our bass player in Backwater, the foremost Status Quo tribute band in Scotland, will be leaving. How soon, we do not know just yet but he'll be playing the Grand Ole Opry in December with Backwater and hopefully the Welsh Quofest in March.
We are therefore seeking a powerful replacement on bass guitar, with immediate effect.
If our current man decides that March 2013 in Wales will be his last gig with Backwater, then that should give a new man at least 4 months to get up to speed with Backwater's repertoire. We tend to work with at least 1 gig per month. Gigs already pencilled in or conffirmed, are a headlining spot at the Scottish Quo convention, "McVention" and the Dreadnought in Bathgate as well as the gigs in the Twa Dugs Ayr, Prestwick Cricket Club, Ivory Blacks Glasgow and various others throughout Scotland in 2013 and beyond.
The new man will have his work cut out trying to fill our existing bass players boots so it would help if he has a grounding in Quo's Frantic Four era, singles and albums, but it's not essential as long as he is prepared to learn the basslines as they are played on record and be dedicated.
This is a VERY demanding position as we are the premier band in Scotland and intend maintaining that status. We rehearse every Thursday night, in Mauchline, Ayrshire
So, do you know anyone who would be interested? If so can you get them to contact us at: or .
We'll consider all contacts but absolutely no time wasters as we don't have the time ourselves due to bookings that will have to be fulfilled.
Thanks,
Backwater, Scotlands' Ultimate Status Quo Tribute.
P.s, confirmed dates for the Irish Quofest in April 19th and 20th 2013, Portlaoise Ireland, will also have to be covered.
