SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Hi, I'm Ben. I have been playing music for a while now, despite being only 19 years old. I have been playing the bass guitar for about 5 years now, but the only qualification I have is a RSL Grade 4 which I achieved before leaving Secondary School. However, I can usually pick up a song mostly correctly within about 3 practice sessions, depending on the song. I live in North Shropshire, but I am willing to travel up to 20 miles in all directions.
I have played 2 previous gigs as part of a community music project, but nothing serious (it was just to parents).
