Hi there,
My name is Dave, I have just read your advert and am very interested in the drumming position,
I am 29 years of age, single & have a passion for performing live music. I have no family ties so would be committed totally to your band.I am based in Rugby not far from Birmingham, Below is a brief bio of my musical past.
I have been playing the drums since the age of 5 and had lessons from a professional drum coach for the first 7 years.
I have also mastered & performed many of the various drumming styles over the years.
I started seriously performing live from the age of around 15 playing drums for a local band in pubs & clubs around Warwickshire.
This lead to my first "major" gig at 16 years of age supporting "Pinkertons Assorted Colours" at a local event.
During my time at college I became involved with a recording studio in Northampton where I met an extremely talented singer/songwriter/guitarist by the name of Danny Connors. It was during this time his band were invited to support Paul Weller on his 2009 UK tour. At the last minute, the bands regular drummer had to pull out, so Danny asked me to step in.
After this, I went on to join a band from Rugby playing a mixture of original & cover songs.
My next venture was to co-form a band with a couple of talented musicians from Northamptonshire. This band also involved a female singer, performing a mixture of covers & originals in a progressive rock/folk style with a touch of blues!
We enjoyed extremely good reviews & played various concerts throughout Warwickshire, Northamptonshire & the Midlands producing a studio recorded CD of original songs along the way.
I joined "The Tracey Matthews Band" in 2012. Tracey is a locally recognised singer performing throughout the UK at various functions & she decided to form her own band to support her. Whilst playing with her we won a competition to support Boyzone in Northampton.
At present I am looking for a professional Jazz fusion band to join and gig around the country, this project sounds perfect. please get back if interested
