Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Drums, Trumpet, Saxophone, Keyboard, Piano, Background Singer, Other.ABOUT
45-year-old bass player.
Originally from Italy, where I have played in several bands since I was 14.
Moved to the UK in 2011 and gigged around London for a bit with a 4-piece alternative rock band playing original music.
I would like to find a practice band to work in the studio and eventually gig.
Please only contact me if you are a fully committed band or musician who always turns up at rehearsals with a good level of preparation
Ideally jazzy pop, funk, Motown, reggae, classic R&B and soul.
I do not like classic 70s rock or 80s glam rock.
