Hi,
Salisbury based cover band FIRESTAR (www.firestarinfo.co.uk) are looking for a new keyboard player and also a guitarist who live reasonably locally to the Salisbury area.
As a function/covers band you'll need your own gear and transport and be available to practice on a Wednesday evening from 7.30pm - 10.45pm in Salisbury. As a keyboard player you'll need to be able to play the piano, synth and brass parts and as the guitarist the rythmn and lead guitar parts on dancy chart hits from the 1960's 70's 80's 90's 00's 2000+ and some recent material. We play a wide ranging 2 x 1 hour sets of of chart hits to keep the dance floor full, all by well known artists, playing their biggest hits from the past seven decades. There will be plenty of time to learn the material at home and with regular live practices as a we get the band gig ready. We already have gigs booked for later in the year
We play material to please all ages by artists like: Michael Jackson, U2, Chic, Sister Sledge, Bowie, Commitments, Talk Talk, Simply Red, INXS, Simple Minds, Luther Vandross,Queen, Brian Adams, Lynyrd Skynyrd , Dee-lite, Toploader, Sophie Ellis Bexter, and also material by newer bands like Dandy Warhol's,Train, Olly Murs, Walk the moon, Lady Gagga, DNCE , No Doubt, Mark Ronson, Lizzo, Tones & I, Bruno Mars, Dua Lippa etc...
We are quite into hi tech gear which all helps us get a good live sound , we use Roland's flagship TD50KV pro kit for the drums, we also have a full Bose F1 PA, 20 channel ipad controlled digital mixing desk with a complete Stereo In ear monitoring system, also, powered monitor speakers, and an LED Light show & smoke machines. We basically feed the whole band through the mixer & PA without a back line, monitor this with our own individual in ear ( or Monitor) mix and get a superbly mixed live sound. We have a superb singer in Charlene who has an exceptional voice.
We are looking for a keyboard player and also a guitarist who are happy to commit to being in just this band to be available for the gigs we get and also are in the band for the long run. The band is about playing good cover versions as they sound on the original tracks as best we can play them live. We are a friendly bunch of people who are very enthusiastic with decent paying gigs. We often play £800 - £1000 gigs in function venues, some are further a field and are for £1000+ with others in small more local venues which can be cheaper but these all help to advertise the band and create more function gigs. All money is split equally between all the band.
There is more band info photos etc on our website. www.firestarinfo.co.uk But if you have any questions at all about the positions, please get in touch . Call, text or Whats App Trev on Mobile 07779 268 764 or email trev@tpdesign.co.uk I'd be happy to answer any questions without any obligation to join the band.
Look forward to hearing from you all the best.
