Looking for a complete line-up (drums, keys, vocs, guitars and maybe a bit of brass. Not bass, that's me!) for a new Function Band project based in/around Essex. I'm near Southend but travel up to Sudbury/Colchester regularly.
Reliable, versatile, competant, punctual, dedicated and amicable players only please. That's not multiple choice. You have to be all of those with good gear and transport.
Looking to rehearse once a week in the first instance to get up to speed but plenty of practice in your own time so we get the most out of rehearsal time together. The point is not to be rehearsing forever but to get out there gigging to a high-standard just as soon as.
Whilst it's all good fun there's a professional side to this too which is to earn some money doing what you, hopefully, enjoy doing. Therefore aiming at quality gigs for weddings, corporate events and private parties. Not interested in the pub circuit but the occasional pub gig, for one reason and another, i'm sure will crop-up.
The set will be dymanic and ranging from some 50's rock n roll right through to current chart hits so versatility is key and some egos will have to be left at home.
Age not so important but a passion, willingness and the right attitude is.
I've setup and played in a number of great function bands in the past but having put my feet up for a few years, and having lived through lockdown, I'm looking to give it another go and find the best players I can to go and play with. It's not all about ability, it's more about the sound and the connection between everyone at the end of the day.
If you're interested please drop me a line and we'll go from there.
Cheers
Neil
