Hey I’m tom, a relatively experienced guitarist in my mid 20’s based in Wiltshire looking at starting a function band. I have been playing guitar for about 13-14 years now, and I have worked with function bands in the past playing at weddings, parties and holiday parks across the UK and Isle of White, I also play guitar for a singer/songwriter in Glastonbury at the moment playing at some great festivals (including one with The Fratellis last year) and I have done some dep gigs for DK Management for some of their bands in England and Wales.
I have a clear vision of what im looking for and the direction I’m wanting to go with this, with the first goal being (once the members are in place and set list sorted) having at least one gig a week, which will take work but is doable, and looking at doing more weddings/parties/private functions after that.
I’m looking for people that love playing music, enjoy playing their instrument/singing and aren’t afraid to show off a bit, as besides the stranded “function band set list” I would be looking to throw in some song that we all love and enjoy to play, and any songs that showed off our capabilities on our instruments (there are already a couple Steve Vai songs I can think of throwing in!).
Practice would take place (most likely) in Devizes, but all the details of how often and what days can be sorted once I have people that are interested, but I would pick 4-5 songs for everyone to learn so that our first practice we have something to sink out teeth into.
No age or gender preferences here, and while this is a function band its still a band, so beards and tattoos are welcome, all I ask is that your gear is in good condition and maintained, and that you are able to drive or at the very least have a reliable way of getting lifts etc, and commitment! While playing live is always fun I will want to be pushing us and getting us to the next level all the time (its how I work, for good or bad).
So if this sounds interesting to you then message me on here or at tomevans0000@gmail.com for a chat (and if you have links to youtube vidoes then feel free to throw them in too) and we can take things from there.
