Singer wanted for established Leeds/Wakefield based covers band.
We have been gigging for years and have paid gigs booked in until the end of the year for which usually works out at £50-£60 each per gig although we get more for weddings/NYE.
Would need to be available for regular Saturday night gigs/some Fridays and be committed with own transport. We have a PA system, monitor and mic’s etc. We normally rehearse on a Tues night in South Leeds. But the more accustomed to the set you and the more gigs we do the less we need to rehearse.
Can’t stress this enough – we are a quality band and need a quality singer. Experience of singing in bands is essential – please don’t waste our time if you’re not a confident singer. Not wanting to put anyone off, but last time we rehearsed singers it was clear that some people really weren’t cut out for it!
The material we do is varied but with a bias to Mod, Ska, Indie and Soul. The set currently includes covers of James Brown, The Small Faces, The Who, Arctic Monkeys, Black Keys, Primal Scream, The Specials and Stevie Wonder.
The band is excellent with bass, drums and a guitarist. We’re all aged around 40, we are very friendly and easy going, have a laugh and we’re 100% professional about what we do. Everything is done as a band and we’ll do our best to tailor the set if there are certain songs you want to do/don’t want to do etc. Once you’re in, we all have an equal say in what goes on – no ego’s and no beefs.
We’re hoping the new singer will be able to start gigging with us in June.
Oh – and our current singer is leaving for personal reasons – we haven’t upset him! J
Thanks for reading.
