SEEKING

Drums.

ABOUT

Seeking bass and drummer to form a blues trio aiming to record and play blues gigs / festivals next year.

I sing, play guitar, not adverse to anyone else that wants to sing also. Have a set ready to gig (own material and blues standards, its pretty straight forward stuff). I do some recording (I have a pro tools recording setup) with a bass player and drummer at present but they have work / home commitments and don't want to gig. There is also a keyboard player that is interested but that's for the future. Would like to find other bass players and drummers around the west Lothian, Edinburgh area to jam the set (and anything else) and see how things develop. Not looking to tour extensively (done that). Not in a rush, just a few jams to start, a few gigs and recordings when time allows (have a demanding career outside music that I'm not looking to give up yet). You should have good gear and transport and just be able to play.
