Hello all.
Any other has-beens, 30s/40s/50s, fancy occasionally dragging themselves away from their work, kids or other commitments to form a band in the Oxford area? I really want to play (and record) original material plus a few unusual covers.
I've been playing guitar about 30 years. Used to gig and record to a decent standard a long while ago - but still the best thing about me is my gear, which is too good to be sitting idle!
I placed this ad on a couple of other forums at the weekend and now have a drummer and keyboard player expressing interest. We're going to need a bass player and I am told this is the place to come.
Among a host of others I like Radiohead, the Bombay Bicycle Club, the Mutton Birds, Magazine, Television, the Clash and Jeff Buckley. I also like Dylan, Neil Finn and Tom Petty.
This is an opportunity for anyone who's maybe been out of bands for a while and hasn't got a lot of time to commit. I don't either, but I really want to do this as far as is possible. If you're in two minds, it's definitely worth a conversation.
