Paul-Rocks
(Stockport / Tameside)

This is going to sound odd but bear with me.
We are a Manchester (Stockport) based band and we are looking for a drummer. We have a small following in Manchester. We have been going for a number of years.
I'm moving to Penrith soon because the Lakes is where I want to be and works allows, but I'm not leaving the band. Everyone is in place except for a drummer. All music is original. We all have experience and we are not dreaming of making it big, we just want to have a laugh and make tunes.
Practice is in a permanent room in Stockport (Hallam Mill) and it's £23 for 4 sessions each. The rooms great and it's shared with other bands who are all friends.
Gigging will be in and around Manchester and at various places in the Lakes if anywhere exist (Pubs are a last resort)
Gigging in Manchester at the Academy, Band on the wall, Hard Rock are gigs to remember. Especially Academy 1 which holds about 2 / 3 thousand people. You won't get anything like it in the Lakes I can guarantee you, the buzz is unreal when people are singing your tunes back to you.
Car share trips to practice usually on a Friday night.
It's a long shot, but if you like music and have always wanted to gig in real music venues not just pubs this could be for you. We are by no means dreaming of becoming superstars, we're all well past playing at V Festival or Glastonbury (which some of us have done) we just want a laugh and to make original music with friends.
All gigs are funded by us, and we will have a professional recorded album as soon as an experienced drummer joins.
Last drummer couldn't take criticism well but was the first to give it out. He had to go, you give what you get and we all talk to each other like good friends and anything said is in jest.
