About

I'm John, rythm guitarist. Been working with a really good friend called Karen. Unfortunately work & family committments have made it almost impossible to carry on as duo for the moment. So Id like to start again from scratch.
I'd like to work with either a new female partner who's confident & willing to try new material-palying an instrument e.g. keyboards along with vocals and a willingness to take on lead vox would be a serious advantage! OR I'd like to team up with other male/female musicians(keys, bass, guitars, other vocals& other instruments) to maybe form a duo/trio/band. I'm not too bothered about age, but I tend to think that maybe people from late 20's/30's upward will be more open minded about music choicesI want to cover country/blues/rock/pop all in a mix & put a good varied set list together (see influences below!).
I even have a possible name whch I'll reveal later-suffice to say it's aimed at having fun!
Practice once a week, more if we can tho it depends on my/your working hours & family committments. I'll be as flexible as I can. I'm based in the Ripley Area. Email me direct- jojan28@, or text me on 07914 192150. PLEASE BE PATIENT WHEN WAITING FOR A REPLY AS I CAN'T USE MY PHONE AT WORK! I will reply asap, I promise. !Feel free to email & tell me what you're interested in. I will upgrade to premium membership when I can, just can't afford the upgrade price at moment!!

Influences

Thin Lizzy, Greenday, Buzzcocks, Undertones, Billy Idol,ZZtop, Dire Straits, Chris Rea, Chris DeBurgh, Def leppard, Queen, Bon Jovi, Status Quo, Nazareth, Big Country, Rod Stewart, Garth Brooks, Phil Collins, Gerry Rafferty, Paul Simon, ELO, Deacon Blue, Air Supply, Chuck Berry, 50's Rock'N'Roll, 60's beat/pop, 70's glam, Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, U2, Beautiful South, Lady Antebellum & much much more (very wide taste in music). Fem influnces Evanessence, Within Temptation, Stevie Nicks, Eurythmics, Lacy J Dalton, Bonnie Tyler, Alison Moyet, loads of female soul/country artists. I also have some original material which I'd like to bring in at some point if others agree-depends whether you like it or not haha!
Egos's are definitely NOT welcome! I'm not big headed & can't be doing it. I just want to work with people who enjoy what they do and want to have some fun!! Sense of humour an absolute must!!!
