Hey everyone!
My names Callum, a little about my musical past/experience....
I was introduced to music at a young age by my dad by going to Bluegrass festivals from the age of 8. Following this I started to play the mandolin when I was 10, then moving on to learning how to play the guitar. He encouraged me to pursue my passion for music so I also learnt how to play the drums and piano. But my main instrument that I focused most of my time on was the guitar!
I was guitarist, song writer and lead singer for a fairly successful (locally) Ska-punk band called 1 Penny Short in Northamptonshire, we gigged often and had a loyal following and loved every minute of being in a band and all the work that went into it for example rehearsals, making new songs and preparing for gigs on a weekly basis and would love to get back into performing live with a committed group of musicians
I am a self taught musician, never had lessons and for me have learn every instrument I can play by using my ears and feeling the music!
I have also played drums for a couple of bands locally over the years from metal music to indie rock. I was also guitarist for a Bluegrass band with my dad in South end for a number of years.
To be honest I am pretty flexible, and I'm sure you would agree if reading this advert that if it is going to work then it will be pretty easy to know when in a room together having a jam/improv session.
I really miss playing with a group of musicians who have passion and enjoy making music so if you are interested please don't hesitate to get hold of me
Happy to play the following in a band:
-Guitar (main instrument and have equipment for rehursals & gigs including guitars and amps etc)
-Drums (second instrument also have drum kit for rehearsals & gigs)
-Mandolin (no so experienced but willing to make it work)
