My name is Richard Jenkins, I have been around the UK music scene for a good 4-5 years now. I used to have a full band behind me, and we played under my name 'Richard Jenkins'. Unfortunately the band ended up breaking down with individuals moving away from Nottingham.
I am really proud of what I have achieved so far, the record released in December 2015 went amazingly well (link to the official music video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-ldXKX-98o ). However there was always so much more we needed to do and achieve, and unfortunately most of my ideas didn't fall in line with the rest of the guys visions in the band.
A link to the entire EP is here -

So now, I am looking for basists, lead guitarists, backing vocalists, drummers, keyboardist and any other musicians to get together with me and write some new tunes for a future record. I want everything to be upfront, costs split between us, and everyone to just have a fun and awesome time! No politics! Rehearsals would be once a week (no problems with it being less if needs be!).
The sound I am looking to achieve would be a mixture between Field Studies, Ben Howard, Radio Head and who ever else. I am completely and utterly open minded. As long as its fun, energising and awesome I am happy to get involved.
I work closely with a number of promoters in Nottingham and the East Midlands and once we have a proper band I can pick up gigs for us in places like Rescue Rooms and other large establishments fairly easily. I have also supported the likes of The Hoosiers, The Swiines and the Rattels.
Drop me a message if you are interested! Would be great to get something started!
