SEEKING

ABOUT

Well so far, no interest and having approached a couple of advertisers, it seems people just want some recognition rather than opportunity. I am very keen to get up and running either as a duo or buildiing a mminimum 4 piece band. I have been playing bass in bands on for over 50 years. I also play acoustic and electric guitar and do one man band sessions playing some standards plus my own numbers. I have some decent equipment and my playing and my good looks are not affected by my great age. I also play my own compositions which are essentially Blues, Country, Jazz and Rock type songs using acoustic guitar and harmonica with a drum machine or with my synth guitar. My main focus has been playing in club bands with a few pub gigs but I would like to explore duo work to start with and to see where it leads.
