**Wanted - Keyboard player for funk covers band.
**Where are we based? Exeter area.
**What are we? A four piece 70’s funk covers band consisting of: Vocals, guitar, bass, sax and drums.
**What are we looking for? A keys player to add to and complement the current line-up.
**Who are we? We are a happy going mixed bunch of musicians with an age range of 20’s to 50’s, and after a little hiatus, are rekindling the groove.
**What stage are we at? We have a set, up and running, of classic 70’s disco/funk covers. We have lots of live gigging experience behind us and currently have a trickle of gigs in the diary.
**What’s the plan? We are planning on playing regularly – probably 2 to 3 times monthly. We rehearse on an ad-hoc basis, usually at Tazma in Exeter. We prefer to rehearse weekday, daytime hours but will do evenings if it means getting the right person in. We tend to play pubs for exposure and a bit of bread-n-butter, sometimes picking up more functional events, parties, etc, from our live gigs. There’s a lot of word of mouth involved – although we will have an online social presence soon to help with promotion.
** What’s the vibe? We are an easy-going group of friends who enjoy playing and like to have a laugh. We don’t really play the songs, note-for-note, from the originals and enjoy doing our own versions with plenty of space and time for improvisation.
** What do we sound like? We have a basic web page online showing a bit of video and some audio clips taken from one of our rehearsals You can find it here: www.tracyneil.com/unkle-funkle
** Our Aim? To get people dancing.
