Keyboards - Fancy some Stax / Booker T / Meters action?

[Happy Jack]

[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Experienced rhythm section fancies getting back into laid-back, groove-style music ... think Booker T, Wilson Pickett, Eddie Floyd, The Meters, maybe some Motown, maybe some Northern Soul. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]We both love this stuff because we're old enough to remember it from first time around. We want to play it properly, not "have a go at it". [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]We're aiming for a 4-piece band, maybe plus a singer if necessary, but this sort of music has to be built around the [/size][/font][/color][color=#ff0000][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3][u][b]keyboard player[/b][/u][/size][/font][/color][color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3] so that's where we're starting. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]What we're looking for is someone who can achieve a decent Hammond sound and a decent piano sound, preferably without needing a team of roadies to move his/her kit. This is less-is-more music so knowing when to hold back is essential. Gigging experience would obviously be very helpful, but not absolutely essential - we all have to start somewhere.

[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]We have all the kit a band needs (except a keyboard!), our own transport, and our own rehearsal space in Acton. Neither of us drags a huge ego around. Both of us play in other bands but we have no problems avoiding diary clashes. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Please note that this will not be a hobby band or an excuse to get together at rehearsals and have a few beers. We're both gigging musicians and we'd be looking to get paid gigs by this summer.[/size][/font][/color]
