Our three-piece band, together for 14 years, is on the hunt for a permanent lead guitarist to step into our lineup to replace our current lead guitarist who is regrettably departing due to personal reasons.
About Us:
Aged mid-30s to early 40s. We currently have a large and varied setlist in place which spans 50s-90s mainly with a few newer tunes. Artists we perform songs by include: The Beatles, Oasis, Free, Bowie, Thin Lizzy, T-Rex, Bryan Adams, James, Blur, Queen, Elvis, Eric Clapton, REM, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, ZZ-Top and The Killers, plus many more. We are open to other influences and suggestions. We would classify ourselves as a classic rock/pop band with a few other influences. We try to play an accessible set that we enjoy without becoming self-indulgent!
What We Offer:
Regular paying gigs in pubs, clubs, and private parties (approximately once every 3-4 weeks); our band has a good reputation, growing fanbase, and established links with a number of venues.
Based in Wolverhampton, but we're willing to travel within an hour for the right gig.
Around 12 gigs booked for this year, with the potential to add more once our lead guitarist position is filled.
What We're Looking For:
A versatile lead guitarist who is comfortable playing in a trio;
Someone looking to commit to becoming part of a stable and enduring lineup.
Some lead vocal/good backing vocal ability is preferred, but not mandatory.
Commitment to professionalism on stage with a good sense of humor.
Drug-free individuals only, please.
Located within, or close to, the Black Country area.
Must have own reliable transportation and gear.
Commitment to rehearsal and improving the band's sound over time.
Our immediate goal is to quickly establish a gig-ready set, involving regular rehearsals initially. Over time, we aim to reduce rehearsal frequency, focusing on introducing fresh material.
If interested, please send us a message.
