I'm forming a band and looking for a passionate and ambitious drummer.
This is a new band; we already have a bass player and lead guitarist; we will also be auditioning for a keyboard player. Initially we will be performing tracks from my new EP ‘Sunset | Darkness | Sunrise’ and my back catalogue https://www.robfinlay.co.uk/records
Requirement:
• Own a car
• Own professional drum kit
• Available to rehearse weekly online (to plan and talk structures etc.)
• Available to rehearse monthly in person (half of the band are in Brighton and I’m in Hertfordshire therefore we are looking to rehearse at Powerhouse Studios (Addlestone, KT153JE).
• Willing to contribute to the development of the bands fan base (promote gigs, post on social media etc.)
• Our first gig is on 28th February 2026 in London so that date needs to be clear in your diary.
About:
“Rob Finlay is a British singer-songwriter and filmmaker who operates in the realm of alternative folk. His greatest asset is undoubtedly his voice – an instrument so striking that it has drawn comparisons to legendary vocalists like Tim Buckley”. Motel Void

Reviews:
Call Rob a songwriter or call him a singer - both of which he patently is - but not a singer-songwriter. He’s so much better than that. Tom Robinson – BBC 6 Music
Ability to weave unconventional elements into familiar genres…searching vocals call to mind Tim Buckley… intriguing…gorgeous. Keith Ames – The Musician (MU Publication)
Songs…really pack some punch. Nell McLeod – SOS (Sound on Sound)
What I need from you:
Auditions will be in late November and early December. Please drop me a message with a link to your bio and demos here: https://www.robfinlay.co.uk/contact
