Hello.
Area 52 are seeking a new bassist & trombone player to join us on a permanent basis.
Candidates will need their own gear, and would ideally have their own transport. A certain level of instrumental skill is required, but this can be gauged at an audition. Backing vocals not required (unless you can and are willing to sing!). Many of our gigs are on weekends, so we require people who can put in the time committment required. We rehearse every 1-2 months.
Some info about us:
We're a 9-piece professional function band playing 15-30 gigs per year in South West UK (sometimes further afield). Our setlist is mainly comprised of Soul, Motown & Funk, but we also play Pop, Rock, Ska and other genres. See a sample of our set below.
We've been running as a band for 20+ years. Members have changed during this time, and we currently have an age range going from 20s to 50s.
Majority of our gigs are weddings, which take place between March to September, with a handful of Christmas and NYE shows.
Link to our Facebook page below, where you can see clips of us in action.
Whilst we pride ourselves on being a professional outfit with an excellent reputation, we do like to have a fun at these gigs. We're an eclectic bunch with varied backgrounds in music, some of us working day jobs and playing functions on the side.
If you feel like this is for you, reach out and we'll organise an audition.
Thanks
Matt - Drummer
