We are Court House Five. A gigging band who play rock covers of various genres ie rock/indie/punk/post punk 90s artists up to the present day.
A 6 piece line up with both a male and female singer fronting the band, two guitars, bass and drums.
Based in the Southampton area for rehearsal, the gigs have been between Fareham , Gosport and Chichester to date.
Usually one or twice a month. We will be booking gigs gain once we have a new drummer, and have had to cancel dates since our last drummer left and so far we have not had any positive response from advertising.
Gig earnings are £40-60 each member per gig. There are 6 of us and the venues being pubs have modest budgets . So we would urge you to co consider this before responding, and please don’t waste our time if you don’t think you’re interested. We are keen to get going. And are seeking someone who really wants to commit to this relatively new band as we go forward and become more established.
As well as good drumming experience and or ability to play in a band , we look for someone who will fit in well with an easy going and fun group of people. Our ages span from 30s to 60s . Age and gender is no issue.
We would like someone with a good work ethic who can make gigs and rehearsals. And we enjoy what we do so want you to as well!
