Hi,
After many years of not performing, I would now like to blend into a band that is a going concern, occasionally gigging etc. I treat every effort seriously and consider rehearsing and performing as if it were a business. aiming to be the best.
Genres of special interest to me are jazz and soul although I listen to World Music and have a very diverse taste including 70s rock through to the present day by serious musicians, composers and singers.
Ideally, a band with a vocalist that performs their own compositions would be most fulfilling rather than performing standards and covers.
In the distant past I organised and performed gigs at pubs, restaurants, weddings, garden parties and the like with various combos and bands, and therefore I am reliable. I have my own transport and my own full acoustic kit, and some small percussion instruments.
I am a well-presented, energised youthful, older man whose age belies his appearance (said modestly here if image is important to you or your followers).
I will not perform any free gig unless there is a compelling reason to do so.
Subject to where you as a band / member might be on your path, I would be prepared to commit to rehearsing at least once a week: I work full-time but have the ability to be flexible in its demands.
Once a week, I am in Brighton / Hove, and could commit to rehearsing etc anywhere en-route between there and Greater London / Kent fringe where I am based.
If the above is workable for you then please let me know: contemplator@btinternet.com
In case you're wondering, I do have a sense of humour.
Thanks,
Rarefied.
