david_l_perry Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) I am having to call it a day with this great Genesis Tribute band so an opening for the bass player is now on the cards. The band is North West based - Wigan / St Helens area and want a bass player also based in the North West I am working upto 3 months notice with them so the band can honour all the gigs and make a transitional change seamless. It’s been a very tough choice, but my work commitments with running my own business have pushed me into this decision as I simply can’t afford the time that this band requires. I can’t express how frustrating a decision this has been.... It’s a great band, great set of players and a top laugh. The gigs tend to be small theatres or 02 Academy gigs, so it’s a far step up from playing the dog and duck, but its also a lot more time consuming for the same reasons (you cant just rock up at a theatre at 7.30 and bang a few speakers on sticks....) The band has a great PA set-up and superb lighting show and are fully self contained. Typically 1-2 gigs per month, a couple of weekend shows a year with hotel stopovers. The band currently want to try and grow to larger shows and hopefully this will all work out for them. Check out the bands web site for info and contact the bind directly through the web site [URL="http://www.mama-genesis.co.uk/"]http://www.mama-genesis.co.uk/[/URL] For the right person this is a dream of a gig. I use a set of bass pedals as well and these will up for grabs once my part in this great band comes to an end..... Sad thing is I cant see myself gigging again after hanging up my bass on this gig...still time will tell on that front...

grapevinebass Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 NIck Beggs may be available after he has finished playing on Steve Hacketts Genesis Extended tour. He seems to know the songs well!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
