We are looking for a lead guitarist who obviously has their own gear and transport (you'd be surprised) - plus is willing to fit into any existing covers band with a quite a few gigs under our belt - and a good eight gigs throughout 2018/2019, including a prestige Essex venue! We have not taken on more at present owing to not having a regular Lead guitarist to work with.
You must be willing to commit and whilst we agree, family/work comes first, we expect a weekly rehearsal commitment and at least two gigs a month (more preferable depending on your circumstances). Band ages range from 30 - 62 although age/sex/ethnicity, etc., is irrelevant to us - the right person is important.
As a band we don’t mind if the lead guitarist isn’t ‘brilliant’ but must be of a good standard and attitude — and sociability are of more use to this band. You would come in to join what we do, not change it as we already have three years together and have a 'sound'.
We are not bothered about your musical likes/influences as we don't think it matters for covers. We only gig in the Essex area and work the clubs more than the pubs.
A meet-up first is suggested to get to know each other and if this works out we can progress from there.
Our playlist at present is:
1. I can see clearly (ska version)
2. Who knew
3. Get it on
4. Bad moon rising
5. With or without you
6. Summer of 69
7. Wings
8. Twist and Shout
9. Achy breaky heart
10. Get lucky
11. Rocking all over the world
12. Zombie
13. Dakota
14. Harden my heart
15. Go your own way
16. All right now
17. Chasing cars
18. Get back
19. Weather with you
20. Hungry like the wolf
21. Maria
22. Heroes
23. Coz I luv you
24. Don't you forget about me
25. Nutbush city limits
26. Ride a white swan
27. Rocks
28. Don't stop believing
29. I love to boogie
30. Blue suede shoes/I'm ready
31. I'm not your fool anymore (own material - easy)
