LONG AD - SERIOUS REQUESTS ONLY PLEASE 😊 (Aware of my account name typo, autocorrected and i cant edit it back 😭😂)
Relocated to Cambridge from Sheffield last year for work before moving to Ely and now searching to join a new band as live music starts to pick up. Not joined any projects in the last 18 months due to Covid restrictions.
Looking to join a rehearsing, gigging band - covers or originals (or both!) and planning gigs, to jump into and inject some energy. Come from a rock/metal background, previous bands influenced by everything from Korn to Gallows and Ramones to Sabbath, but played in wedding and party function jazz and funk bands. Looking to branch out and explore different genres; well practiced in different techniques slap/finger/pick/gallop ect.
Looking for a group that are committed and ready to practice and rehearse in a rehearsal space. Ideally other band members would have transport as although I have my own, I've definitely done my fair share of band taxi'ing/ferrying people about. 😂
Info about me bullet pointed below for ease:
🎸 24 on the cusp of 25, looking to join a group ideally with members aged 21+ although that isn't a huge issue
🎸 Live in Ely, have my own transport (van) willing to travel Cambridge and surrounding areas. Ideally within 30 minutes for regular practicing, but can travel up to 1hr for the right project (Peterborough ect)
🎸 Have my own equipment, amps in varying sizes, ect although ideally looking to meet up at a rehearsal rooms so i can just bring my head and plug into a cab to save me lugging my big bits around.
🎸 Been playing 15 years. Experienced in gigging; small, medium and large venues playing from 10 to 10,000 and much in between.
🎸 Currently playing 4 strings, although owned and played a variety of 5, 6 and 7s. Classic Fender enthusiast although I've had my fair share of extra-scale fan fretted Ibanez madness 😂
🎸 Enjoy meeting new people, playing and practicing. Can commit to X2 practices per week and evening/weekend gigging. I work full time in Cambridge so unavailable 9-5.
🎸 Looking to join a group of like-minded folks, by which I mean friendly, laid back (although motivated to practice and gig!) and genuinely nice people. Had my fair share of 'band politics' in the past and I'm very much over it. ✌️🤘
