AmericanCircus Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Sounds a little crazy i know, but our already established bands bass player is leaving and we really need a replacement QUICK! The show must go on! Even if you can't commit to this for the whole season, even a stand in would be great until we find someone more permanent. Immediate start, must be willing to travel, cash in hand each week, accommodation provided. Please get in touch with email addresses or numbers so i can send you more info! Don't be put off by the kind of tour - i assure you we are a great company of artistes and workers! If you find you love the lifestyle, we could offer a repeat contract for nine months next season - feb to november. Over 19 y/o only, any gender, GET IN TOUCH! www.americancircus.co.uk www.facebook.com/americancircus [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyf Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I took my daughter last week to The American Circus in Solihull. Just brilliant. The most amazing couple of hours I've had in a while. A fantastic show and great entertainment. The house band are SERIOUSLY good. It seems like a tough gig though as its music all the way through the performance. Great challenge though and something to be really proud of if you get the gig. Hope you find you bassist. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakenewmanbass Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I would hope that someone here takes this opportunity, I would imagine it to be great fun. Good luck in your search, I will ask about a bit too as I know plenty of pro players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) Please, someone follow this up - i did a European tour with a Circus many years ago which was a great experience. This chance would be great fun, a great play, and you will end up with chops like super man. Go for it. I have just linked your post to my Facebook account , i know a few guys who might be up for this.

AmericanCircus Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hey guys, Thanks for the feedback Tony - glad you enjoyed the show! Gary - Thanks for sharing the post. And don't be mistaken, its a bit of hard work but an amazing thing to tell your kids about. At the moment we're not having much luck finding anyone - its a pretty big lifestyle change so you have to be quite gutsy and unafraid to do this. If we don't find someone by the end of this week the rest of our band members have to go home (they can't play without bass and we can't keep them on the show/keep paying them to do nothing) so fingers crossed!

thack Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Yeh. Started on Monday. Everyone is really cool. The band leader barley speaks a word of english, which is interesting. Great fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] You're joking? The band didn't have a bass player when I saw you a couple of weeks ago but I hardly noticed. Your musicians were absolutely ON IT for a couple of hours solid and sounded great. I didn't notice the absence at all TBH. Glad to see thack is now in situ though. Good luck fella!
