i placed an ad last sat here and was a little surprised that only 1 reply came in.
im looking for players who are not concerned about money (although this will undoubtably happen).
im looking for players or a band that that can help put together a reasonably commercial 30 odd songs that are arranged in such a way that they offer space to the musicians to breathe.
the perfect line up would be - drums, bass, gtr, keys, tenor sax & trombone. 4 different soloist all complementing each other whilst the rhythm section keeps everything on an even keel.
material from artists as diverse as elvis, the small faces, booker t, the who, cream, the rolling stones ........ all arranged to project the abilities of the band whilst fully engaging the audience.
ok, so this is a bit of a pipe dream. maybe or maybe not.
if you have reached that point in your life when playing for the sake of it has drained you of your enthusiasm then have a think about this ad.
im not looking for new friends (my life's busy enough with grand children and a wife who complains that i never join her her on a trip to tescos at gallows corner). i just want to be in a unit that not just allows me to sing in keys that are comfortable to me but one that allows every musician a chance to show what they can really do. the material has to be reasonably commercial but has its own unique edge and an element that demonstrates that 'these boys can really play'.
if any of this makes sense to you, please pm me.
one last thing - as this is a long term project and 2024 is almost in its 5th month, i cant imagine too much work will come in for this year so if gigging weekly is your thing thats cool but please dont get in touch.
this idea is for relaxed ex pro standard players who can still kick arse on stage and would rather be part of something unique and different (whilst still being commercially viable) than be part of the established 'norm'. im not knocking the 'norn' - i just dont want to be part of it.
peace and love.
