SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I'm a performer and songwriter.
As I have a lot of commitments (see below!) I'm not looking to being a regular in a new band, but I am available for depping/one offs and also recording piano/keyboards for tracks.
I play in a few bands - a duo called Old Money, with regular gigs:

A trio called the Troubadours, we tend to gig for charity/good causes:

I also sing in a male voice choir and play with a ukulele band, and gig occasionally with both
I'm involved with the Audlem Music Festival, and in Dec 2023 have just taken on the running of a monthly open night mic at The Shroppie Fly in Audlem (2nd Friday of the month!)
