ABOUT
Is there anybody out there who is into pre 1960's music?
I am a big fan of hot jazz, scat, swing, rhythm & blues, Rock 'n' Roll, Rockabilly and jump jive music from the 1930's - 1950's. I would love the opportunity to meet with musicians of a similar standard who share my taste in music, mainly to jam, have fun and hopefully, improve together. I would describe myself as intermediate standard guitarist/singer with a patchy knowledge of musical theory as I am self taught. I am reasonably proficient in playing a few jazz chords but it is a hard slog playing alone. 0115 9782616
