Mellowmatic are looking for a committed and versatile Lead/Rhythm Guitarist to join our energetic, 8-piece original band, becoming an integral long-term guitarist. If you live and breathe Funk, Hip Hop, and Neo-Soul and are ready for a fairly large commitment, read on!
We are a genre-blending funky hip-hop band with elements of rock and jazz, with 5 years of success on the UK live circuit, performing at many of the major festivals (Glastonbury, Boomtown, Isle of Wight Festival, Shambala, etc) on a variety of stages including main-stages and headline slots, as well as support tours in venues from Cornwall to Scotland.
2026 will start to gain momentum from April 2026, with around 10 shows already confirmed for April and May and a growing number of festival slots confirmed for the summer. We are a hardworking band with a growing following and expect to be as busy as possible throughout the year.
We are looking for:
- A consistent, reliable guitarist (no deps - you become part of the family)
- Someone comfortable playing across styles and holding down a high-energy show
- Commitment to be as available as possible at weekends (especially during the summer months/festival season)
- Located in the south (cities mentioned below where the band are currently from)
- A team player who loves the buzz of live performance
- Must have experience playing live and own professional gear
- Must drive
This is the chance to slot into an already established and professional band, while having fun along the way.
Our line up currently includes drums, bass, guitar, keys, sax, trombone, rapper and female vocalist. Age range 20s-40s and based across the south (Gloucester, Swindon, Oxford, London and Bournemouth).
Rehearsals are occasional (unpaid and usually around Reading/Newbury) and gigging is quite regular (primarily weekends and festivals in the summer).
Finances are honest - this is a full-time passion project with great opportunities, being run professionally and best suited to someone with a main income source already to support living expenses. Fees are varied depending on the shows we play, most shows offer a solid split, although with a focus on frequent live shows to build following, support tours etc will generally cover expenses, but allow to travel cities all over the country with the band.
We have until the end of march to get the lucky guitarist set up and ready for the stage.
