Hi we’re an established 50’s/60’s RocknRoll/Rockabilly band looking for a drummer m/f to come on board permanently anytime soon.
Band has been going about 4/5 years now and we play around 15-20 gigs a year give or take.
In Essex/East London/South Suffolk/& once in a while in North Kent.
Usually in Essex tbh, but if you came onboard you must be ok to do a bit of travelling to these areas occasionally.
Usually playing at social clubs,occasional festival,party etc.Not pubs.
Have got a couple of RnR Weekenders booked next year (‘27) at Skegness in April & Hemsby in November.
We’ve also got Xmas Eve booked this year.
We’re a guitar based four piece (lead/rhythm guitar,electric/upright bass,male vocalist & drummer)
Our sound is quite ‘rocky’rather than quiet melodic playing, so best to bear that in mind.
People seem to like us though as we offer something different on the circuit.
Guitar & bass are in North Essex & singer lives at Bexleyheath East London.
Age wise, we’re in our late 50’s/early sixties. So maybe someone of similar age for band dynamics but by all means get in touch.
We practice usually at Control Rooms,Brentwood,but occasionally at Card Trick,Chelmsford.
Usually Control Rooms though, if possible.

Really looking for someone proficient who knows & loves this type of music and has got a background playing it or at least knows & likes these sort of songs.
We like to have a laugh but serious about the music!
Thanks for reading & have a good week/weekend!
