Bass Guitar, Upright bass.

ABOUT

Versatile and experienced guitarist and bassist. I like any good music with a good feel, particularly retro styles: rockabilly, blues and country. Good backing and lead vocal.

Looking for bassist or guitarist to join me and drummer to form a small rock and roll trio for recording, local festivals, fetes and garden parties.
