The story so far:
I've just completed a couple of years in a brilliant cover band and I'm now looking to take things to a higher level. I'd like to move away from the "crammed in the corner" pub gigs and try something with a little more style.
I'm up for a tribute band, maybe some original material....anything but cheesy pub rock if I'm honest.

This is what I offer:
A driving force of talent, versatility, image, time, gear, commitment and a burning desire for success and quality gigs. Excellent management, marketing, promotion, graphics and website capabilities and a very serious attitude to what is a thoroughly rewarding,for me, hobby.

This is what I would like:
A band or musicians, with not too dissimilar attitudes, who have time at their disposal to practice hard, gig hard, play a diverse crowd pleasing set, with not too many cheesy numbers, work on image, style and professionalism and be flexible with the requirements of clients. A willingness to travel would be highly favourable. Similarly the willingness to sometimes sacrifice performing fees for good exposure would be cool.

You can ignore all of the above for the moment.
If you're a keyboard player and you fancy being a part of Wales's premier Blues Brothers tribute act please get in touch.

Influences:

Not important to be truthful but seeing as you insisted:
Yes, Genesis, Rush, Blackmore, Clapton, Page, Gilmour, Rundgren, Montgomery, Hackett, Hillage, Buckingham, Frampton..etc

If I was allowed to pick only one band it would have to be Pink Floyd, erm or Yes, I think...

One guitarist, Eric Clapton. Ok. Steve Howe. No. Joe Walsh, erm Jeff Beck, aaargh, I give up.....
