Gloucestershire Based Band Seeking Keyboardist (with vocals) Gloucestershire/Forest Of Dean

Wednesday 20 Sep 2023, 1:10pm

'The Dark Tones' are a popular 4 piece rock and pop covers band from Gloucester and the Forest Of Dean. We gig throughout Gloucestershire and the South West. We are currently looking for a keyboardist/vocalist to add to our group.

We have male and female lead vocalists, which allows us to play a wide variety of the best rock anthems and dance floor hits. We are planning to up our game for the New Year to play more corporate and wedding gigs and believe that now is the right time to add a keyboardist with vocals to our group who could enhance our sound. If you can play a bit of rhythm guitar as well, then that would be awesome!

We currently practice in Ross On Wye, but hope to relocate to nearer Lydney for practices in the future.

Going forward, we will be introducing new songs to our set from the likes of ABBA, Lady Gaga, Fleetwood Mac, The Eurythmics, ELO, Queen, Journey, Simple Minds and lots of the best 70's/80's disco orientated music, as well as current popular hits.

We gig on average twice a month and mainly play in pubs and clubs and the occasional wedding and corporate event. We have recently played at Frocester Festival, Breamfest and the Much Marcle Steam Fair.
