We are experienced Tunbridge Wells-based musicians - guitarist and drummer - and we are looking for other musicians to join us in setting up a covers band. We're not being too prescriptive about composition. We need at the least: vocalist(s) (male, female or both) and bass. The guitarist is happy to play lead or rhythm, so we'd also like to hear from accomplished lead guitarists. We can also accommodate keys.
We are mature musicians but ability and attitude are more important than age. We would expect the instrumentalists to be proven competent performers but we're happy to hear from keen and talented but less experienced vocalists.
Our vision is of a group of people who are motivated by the pleasure of playing together rather than the prospect of financial return and who are prepared to make a commitment to the pursuit of excellence, including attending rehearsals regularly - usually weekly. Our band will be friendly, democratic and entirely lacking in prima donnas so we shall be looking for the right personal chemistry.
Our play list will comprise the kind of music people enjoy listening and dancing to, but with a minimum of the usual old chestnuts. Selected rock, pop and indie covers: a mix of popular classics and niche gems with lesser-played treasures from a range of musical genres. The selection will be made by consensus among the members.
Once we have the band together, we'll concentrate on rehearsing until we're good enough to launch ourselves on the pub and functions circuit. Rehearsals will take place in the Tunbridge Wells area.
