ABOUT

Hi, we’re an established, mature 50’s/60’s rock n roll/rockabilly band seeking a new lead singer. M/F.

Must be experienced & know and like this sort of music.

The band has been going about 3 to 4 years now playing mostly social clubs/occasional nice pubs in and around Essex/South Suffolk. About one gig a month give or take.

Based around North Essex, looking to practice probably at Unit One or Black Cactus in Colchester area.
Daytime/eves/possible weekend practice. Whenever’s best.
