Any drummers looking to dep for a rock & pop covers band playing songs from the 60s onwards. Music played is a varied mix of rock, pop, country rock, blues, classics and standards.
We have to point out that the gigs are not big payers, we do it now for the enjoyment as this is a second band project for us.
We have a full time regular drummer who needs to take time out for work commitments so we need someone to fill in when required. No guaranteed amount of gigs yet but we would be looking to expand our diary later in the year and into next year with the view of gigging 2 to 3 times a month. We would prefer someone who is not committed to any other band/project purely as it makes it easier when booking gigs not to have to work around 3 different sets of diaries. If you are already in a band or committed please do not respond.
We do ask that anyone wishing to try out must be prepared to practise on a regular basis before and leading up to a gig as we have worked with deps in the past who say they know the songs but don’t practise then play awful on the night and don’t know the songs. We have actually cancelled some dates now as the dep we had let us down and parted ways.
We have some gigs already booked and waiting for you, starting in August. We did have more but as I said we were let down by our deps playing and we decided to cancel the gigs and get back to rehearsing the songs with a new fresh dep.
We are aged between 30 and 59 and based primarily in RCT, Merthyr and Llantrisant.
Thanks
