SEEKING

ABOUT

A good classic rock, blues and jazz bass player interested in recreational playing, jamming, creative recording projects and the odd charity event/gig. I am a versatile player that can play most styles and enjoy helping the band sound good regardless of what we are playing - but I have a particular interest in 70's era progressive rock and playing some of the more sophisticated works of Led Zeppelin, The Who, Yes and Pink Floyd. John Paul Jones is my biggest bass influence. I have a network of other recreational amateur musicians who are successful in their other professions but share a passion for getting together to play, record, create or perform the odd gig for charity or a social event/party.
