Frustrated bass player! I play in time and in tune, am punctual, don't smell that bad, gear sounds ok, I read, am house trained and can observe the social protocols required to rehearse and gig, but I live in the cultural vacuum that is Herefordshire, where the live scene and artistic input is basic and at the absolute opposite of what I'd like to be doing. Trying to get a band together of a decent standard and keep it going is a nightmare. I love living here, but I need a regular gig that isn't pit work or ceilidh bands!
