SEEKING

ABOUT

Semi-pro , mature, experienced, creative, tight, experienced drummer with a professional attitude available for ‘circuit’ standard Band. (Permanent & / or Dep.)
make contact through www.bobayre.co.uk

Specialism :- Texas Blues shuffles, funky shuffle with groove, Blues Rock, Rock’n’Roll, Americana , - All with feel & dynamics !
Extensive experience as a House Drummer for local Jam nights & covers bands playing stuff mainly from 60's to 90's.
Looking for a band wanting to play contemporary Blues, be creative & develop their own material plus choice covers, (not the same old tired 60’s British Blues boom / straight ahead Rock Blues copy-ists !) and to gig more regularly .

I have over 20 years drumming experience, incl. drum lessons at London drum college DrumTech, played at numerous venues, a regular at jam nights both UK & abroad.
I am coached by Martin Ranscombe (aka ‘The Drum Guru’) & mentored by UK Blues great, Sam Kelly,(Voted into Blues In Britain magazine Gallery of the Greats, as a five-times winner of the ‘UK Drummer of the Year’ award).
