Band to Join.

ABOUT

Played guitar in a band back in Uni thinking we'd get signed and be famous then had about 25 years playing on my own. Recently got back in to gigging with a couple of bands playing lead/rhythm (I don't really distinguish). I now play the drums in one of those bands. Looking for something fun but with people who want to take it seriously.

The songs I've uploaded here are originals/interpretations that I've recorded at home. I'm playing guitars, bass and singing (not my forte) and I've also sampled and looped the drums on Levee.
