Hi,
I'm a 29 year old singer/guitarist in London fronting a three piece Alt-Rock band under my own name ‘Harvey Allinson’. I've been playing gigs using session musicians for bass and drums for the past year but want to find people who would really be able to commit for the long haul in terms of turning this into a career and actually making it happen (bigger gigs, festival slots, touring, booking agents etc), so I’m looking for drummers who want to join a project that will grow over the next few years.
I'm a full-time musician and DJ playing pub and bar gigs so I have a lot of experience playing live. I'm releasing 5 songs this year and booking shows with promoters like LNZRT and Bad Vibrations for the rest of 2026 to help promote these songs. Ideally, we'd have around 8 rehearsals in the first month to get things really tight and then 2 or 3 every month afterwards to bring new songs in and keep the set fresh, playing 2 shows a month. As it's my own project and we're playing my songs, I'll cover all our expenses for gigs and rehearsals. I’m also open to hearing from other session musicians as well as I want to find people who can potentially fill in last minute for shows if another member has to drop out for some reason.
I'm serious about making this thing actually work so I need people who can commit, actually like the style I’m going for and will give a good performance on stage with the material I’ve written. I'm aiming to be a band with a really strong live show - kind of like Wunderhorse in terms of energy (this is kind of what I’m aiming for - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHTwIh5zR3g&t=2s), with dynamic records, and a real focus on just the music to start with. I've put some videos of my previous shows below which should give you a better sense of my style, and a google drive link to the setlist we were using in 2025.

Anyway, let me know what you think - my number’s 07748808402 if you’re interested and want to WhatsApp or call me sometime to go over details. Any questions just give me a shout!
Thanks,
Harvey
