The Patriots are one of Yorkshire's top live cover bands and are looking for a new singer.
We play in largely in Working Men's Clubs across the North of England with the occasional private booking and festival thrown in. We split money evenly after agents commission and every member of the band, including the sound and lighting engineer get paid the same, so you'll typically get £100-120 per gig.
We try and control the work from the agent to limit gigs to around 40 a year, but with holidays and other availability challenges, sometimes we diet gig for 3 weeks, then do 12 gigs in a month. These are usually on Fridays and Saturdays but with occasional Sundays, so good weekend night availability is a must.
We perform to a high standard and take our performance seriously, but we don't take ourselves seriously at all. So prima donna's need not apply!
The whole ethos of the band is that we have fun.
We'll be auditioning over the next couple of months. You don't need any equipment cos we have everything, and experience is a plus but not essential. What we really need you to be is:
- a great singer
- someone who can carry the show from the front and engage the audience
- someone with a sense of humour who wants to have fun
- someone with good weekend availability
Most of the band are in their late 30s/early 40s, except the keys player who's national insurance number is 2.
