Hi there- I’m looking for one-off or short-term gigs as a guitar player. My main gig is as the guitarist in the fabulous Hijacked Hollies (amazing, well-established Hollies tribute band, playing a roster of theatre and festival gigs nationally every year), Prior to that I was the guitar player for 4 years with a Springsteen tribute act. I have a full time job and a family so can offer moderate commitment for gigs as long as it’s not every weekend, and as long as it doesn’t clash with Hijacked Hollies commitments. I’ve also played in several function and covers bands as well as a pretty successful originals act that reached the stage of playing good venues in London and a date or two overseas. I ticked No to the Are you a studio musician?; but in fact I’ve recorded in several studios and made a number of EPs; I’m just not a professional session player. I’m looking forward to getting into it again - I have good equipment and transport and am reliable. I can offer backing vocals.
