SEEKING

ABOUT

Accomplished and enthusiastic bassist/acoustic guitarist seeks like-minded musicians for band with the view to playing live.

I'm a bassist at heart and have 15 years+ experience. Played in several bands as the bass player, but more recently I've played in an acoustic act as the acoustic guitarist with some backing vocals.

Confident playing originals as well as covers. Gig and recording experienced.

I am quite versatile and enjoy music from most genres but my main influences are rock bands, with a helping of pop, punk, soul, funk and reggae.

Previously played (bass) with Sheffield bands Strange and Partners and CircaDiaz, and (acoustic) with Dancing With Elsie.

Own equipment and transport.
