Band to Join.

ABOUT

I'm a bass player, electric and occasionally upright and fretless electric.

I have good kit, and can get myself to rehearsals and gigs.

I'm only allowed to choose 4 genres of music on this site, but I play most genres. Ska/Reggae/Pop/Rock/Covers/R&B for sure, but also Acoustic, Alternative, Blues, Folk and so on.

I have also played a lot of Jazz. I read, but not enough to interfere with my playing..

I've been playing in a Ska band in SE London, but now the players are moving to different parts of the country, we don't gig or play much anymore.

I'm easy going, and can offer moderate commitment to rehearsals, studio work and gigs mostly local-ish to SE London.
My last band lasted over 10 years!

I have a day gig, I can't ditch it to go touring. So you know..

Available in the evenings and weekends, generally.
