If you're an open-minded musician in north-east London who wants to play and perform with others, here's your chance. I'm 51, I play the guitar and my first ever band broke up this summer after two years and several excellent gigs. I'm not too bad at playing and I practise a lot to get better. I haven't got a sheaf of songs ready to play but I'm good at working with other people, especially in creative collaborations.
I've also got some experience in theatre and performance, so we could take things in that direction too.

Influences
I was raised on The Smiths, Echo & The Bunnymen, Cocteau Twins, Prefab Sprout, Dexy's Midnight Runners (Searching for the Young Soul Rebels), Everything But the Girl, Simple Minds, The Teardrop Explodes, Big Country and other splendours of the early 1980s, but I also love Nile Rodgers, Fela Kuti, Super Rail Band, any number of African and funk guitarists, and Jimi Hendrix. Also Bach and late Romantic music. I'm not really into metal or straight blues.
