...amount of gigging experience - decades in fact.
Seeking rock/pop/blues band - ideally established with gigs. Probably not funk - my fingers get stuck in the strings after a while and it gets a bit messy. Country is OK - but my wife hasn't left me and my dog is not dead - so may not work.
Pros
1. Any amount of gigs, any venue, any amount of rehearsals.
2. Fast learner.
3. Ultra reliable.
4. I will play any song - I might moan a bit - but I will play it!
5. Happy to travel to a degree - I know venues are getting fewer these days so happy to drive.
6. I can demolish walls or serenade butterflies - whatever suits.
7. Couldn't care less about money - as long as band is equitable it doesn't matter to me.
Cons.
1. I look boring.
2. My BV's are average at best but I will do what I can.
3. My hearings shot (drummers eh) so you may have to shout a bit.
4. I like arguing.
5. No you don't.
6. I hate saxophones.
7. If you are after a 20 yr old hipster - it aint me. I am not young. I don't smell though.
8. 4 string player - not 5 or 6 or Chapman stick.
Current band looks likely to fold soon - which is a great shame - I do some deps - but not enough to keep me out of the house as much as my wife would like me to be - so - if there is anything out there - who knows. I can point you to YT vids first so there is no embarrassing - 'who the fk is he' at audition.
I am based in CO10 and am happy to travel but I would prefer if not ALL gigs and rehearsals were 2 hours plus away - so - if you think Sudbury - are you in a 30 mile radius?
Had some great responses so far but nothing quite hits the mark. Look forward to hearing from you!
Pip pip.
