(St Ives, Cambs)

As of May 21st 2025, we have now found our new members, and are looking forward to a new chapter in our musical journey. Many thanks to all who have shown interest here, and to Joinmyband for the help this forum has been on several successful searches over the years.
Our rock covers band is based near St Ives in Cambridgeshire, and we urgently need to replace a guitarist whose personal circumstances have unfortunately suddenly changed, and also our bassist. Both guys are prepared to stay with us for gigs over the next couple of months until we have found and rehearsed with suitable replacements. We play mostly pubs once or twice a month maximum, with over 150 gigs to date, covering Kaiser Chiefs, Franz Ferdinand, White Stripes, Talking Heads, Snow Patrol, Elvis Costello, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Neil Young, Foo Fighters, Bowie, Pink Floyd, Zutons, ZZT and the like.
Target line-up is existing female lead/backing singer, existing drummer who also does lead and backing vocals, existing guitarist, plus a new lead guitarist who ideally but not essentially could also take lead vocal on some songs, and back/harmonise on others, and a bassist (also ideally singing as a bonus!)
We need reasonably experienced people enthused by performing in public to a good standard, and local enough to commit to regular rehearsals in a village near St Ives, where we have a useful practice hall that current and past members from Cambridge and Sawtry (for example) find convenient. We have no aspirations of rock careers, recording contracts etc, just a desire to perform. We do need however people who get how music and songs work, with sufficient confidence to help in our continuing improvement.
If this is something that appeals, send me a reply, and I will forward a link to our Facebook page with videos of what we do, and songlists etc. The videos will show that gender and age are not important to us, just enthusiasm and the fun of performing.
