I'm Ian, 37 - big lover of music (most genres) and interesting in starting/joining a band.
I don't play an instrument but I sing and write lyrics and come up with melodies/toplines.
I'm originally from the South East but relocated to Wales last year.
Previous music of mine has been very pop and I love pop music but I also love a lot of the music I grew up listening to like, such as Brit Pop like Blur or Oasis, Republica, Spaced, Sleeper, Supergrass etc.
Some of my favourite music is the late 90's/00 was Catatonia - they are my favourite band. I loved Cery's voice, I loved the thoughtful (often witty) lyrics, the strong melodies and the ability they had to tap into different styles and genres.
I'd love to find people local to Swansea, of similar age, into the same types of music who would like to start a similar-sounding band or perhaps who already have a band and are seeking a singer.
I'm really not interested in cover versions. My passion is songwriting and I'd love to write original material to perform.
Appreciate currently due to coronavirus that no one is meeting but I thought it might be a good opportunity to connect with people, discuss music and just to see if there were others out there interested in what I'm propsing.
I'd ask that you play an instrument and have some experience writing songs.
If you are interested, feel free to contact me. I am happy to send you examples of my previous work (although please be aware this would be pop music and not necessarily the type of pop/rock/Brit pop I'm looking to make moving forwards.
Get in touch and let's chat!
