SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Keyboards , Synths , Organ , Piano and a bit of photography ( see some of the photos tab) .
Been in a various bands in Nottingham and Shrewsbury .
Was in the perhaps the first Stranglers tribute band - No More Heroes, and played other bands , recently as Guttersnipe in Shrewsbury ,which is a local punk covers band.
Got a mountain of keys and approach varies from old school , Doors , Stranglers type Hammond and Wurlitzer piano sounds to Modern synthesis with Samples , Sequencers if need be, so Depeche mode or similar.
Prefer the actual play though .
Looking for suitable others , either established or new to collaborate , jam , experiment, record , gig and tour depending on band and music.
