ABOUT

I am keen to join new band and rehearse with a view to gigging. Have done my fair share of time in pub and function bands and would be happy to slot in with any in the area. For last year or so have been playing with AutoSwerve in Hastings area but recently band has folded. Have a pretty eclectic taste in music so also have a need to do something a bit more challenging in terms of original /experimental music. Its important for me that I get on well with fellow band members and having a laugh and not taking it to seriously also a plus.

I have a good sound and gear, a good ear (2 actually) my own transport and can hold down a good solid rhythm. I also like to improvise when I get into a good groove, without widdling off all over the place .

Am also not a youngster so if you are teens/twenties and thrusting for the limelight then I ain't your man.
