Plymouth's premier Eighties covers band, fresh from playing BMAD festival in Paignton and having established themselves as the up and coming act in the Plymouth music scene, are unfortunately looking for a guitarist to fill their ranks due to the impending relocation of current axeman Chas.
Playing a mixture of 80's rock standards (Guns n Roses, Whitesnake, Bon Jovi, etc.) mixed with some more eclectic pop songs which have been rocked up somewhat, we need a guitarist equally as comfortable with rhythm as with lead. He will join the current line up of drums, bass, keys, guitar and vox and form one half of the guitar axis that creates the huge Firebird sound. Backing vocals are advantageous but by no means essential, what is essential is your own gear, the ability to make rehearsals (usually Sunday evenings in Plymouth) and gigs (no more than 2/3 a month) and the ability to rock out with a band that has a great camaraderie and puts on a helluva show.
Ages range from mid twenties to mid forties currently, ideally you'll sit somewhere within that and have a love for Eighties music. If all this sounds of interest then please do get in touch, we have gigs coming up which would give you the opportunity to see what you could be joining and we can share set lists so you can see the songs you would be playing. We are always looking to add new songs and additional sets so we would encourage a new member to contribute song ideas from the off, bearing in mind that the focus is the audience experience so we try to play songs they will know in a pub.
If you have any questions then just drop us a line, here are some links for consideration:
