South.Road
(Liverpool)

We are “South Road” and we are an established covers band based in Liverpool.
And we are looking for a new singer, preferably female.
We have a large repertoire of songs covering pop, rock and dance-and-sing-a-long classics.
Typically, we gig once per month, in and around Liverpool and Wirral, but it can be more or further afield when interesting opportunities come along.
We rehearse in Liverpool, usually weekly, and usually at Vulcan Studios (L3 7BE) but occasionally go elsewhere to keep things interesting.
Good singers are in demand and you are probably spoiled for choice, so here is why you might want to consider South Road over and above the crowd:
O We absolutely understand that 99% of the audience are watching the singer and not the band and that we need to play to the singer’s strengths. Therefore, we are completely relaxed about, and expecting to have, a discussion about our song list to allow you to shine.
O The band consists of Loz (guitar), Dave (drums) and Sophie (bass and backing vocals). Loz and Dave have been friends and playing together in bands for a long time and Sophie is Dave’s daughter… so it’s all very relaxed, open and honest, genuine and is a stable, stress-free band.
O Sophie is a girl! We already have a girl in the band. We’re not the typical band of middle-aged-blokes churning out the usual pub-covers guff. Both our previous singers were girls and it worked perfectly both as a group and musically (both left very amicably, simply due to a change in their personal circumstances, in case you wondering).
O We all read music and learn new songs very quickly, so we should be able to quickly turn-around any songs you want to bring into the Set.
O We are primarily a covers band, but have done some originals (and some studio recording of originals). So that avenue is not closed-off if that appeals to you.
O You don’t need to worry about gear/equipment … we have all the gear (and its good quality).
O We love doing this and do it for fun. Part of that fun is that gigs are a success and a great audience reaction … so we do take a pride in our music, work hard, choose set-lists wisely and put on a quality show.
O We realise the importance of playing what people want, getting them up dancing and playing classic songs that will do that. In an around that, we have a very interesting set list and are always complemented on this. For example, Sophie happens to be a grade 8 pianist, so we’ll sometimes throw in some piano/vocal songs… it’s all stuff that makes us a bit different and more memorable.
O Age is unimportant. The age range of the current band is 20 -50 yo.

What we are looking for from you are the qualities you would expect: good singer and good stage presence.
Beyond that, we want someone who is reliable and someone open-minded to sing a range of styles.
We’d also prefer/appreciate it if you could point us at a FB or Youtube link, etc., so we could hear you.
If you are interested or have any questions then please get in touch, either by Private Message reply to this advert, or via our Facebook page (and we’ll be happy to send you our current Song-List and answer any questions).
Do it! Do it! Do it!
