We are an long established band playing regularly around Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Doing varied venues and also parties. We are looking for a guitarist to join us from mid to late August (though early September is okay too). Our existing guitarist is finding it increasingly difficult to do gigs due to his day job commitments and is our sole reason for looking for another guitarist.
We are a four piece band, mostly in our 40's, consisting of Vocals, Drums, Bass and Guitar. We are a covers band doing anything 1970s up to current day pop, and some light rock.
All gigs are paid, we don't do any free gigs. We have gigs in the diary right into next year and more venues wanting to book us or rebook us. We are currently turning gigs down weekly due to our guitarist working away from home.
As a guitarist you will need to be capable of doing both rhythm guitar and when required some lead guitar. Ideally with backing vocals (but not necessary). We will provide a chord book (pdf) and Mp3's for everything we do to help you get up to speed on a gigs worth of songs quickly. We are happy for you to use the chord book on tablet or in sheet form on gigs. We are not a heavy rock band. We cover stuff like the Police, Jesse J, The Donna's, Reef, avicii, Sia etc. So a nice mix of most styles to keep everyone happy.
As a band we like to enjoy ourselves both on and off stage and pride ourselves on entertaining both during and in-between songs. We are not a crazy loud band and do like to play with dynamics.
If this sounds like something you would like to get involved with drop me a line and I can get a set list over to you. Ideally if you contact me please send me information about yourself and links to examples of yourself playing.
We will be holding auditions in 2 weeks time in Bolton.
