Wanted: Bassist near Peterborough to join Peterborough Big Band (to start after the summer due to relocating)

[SimBass]

I'm relocating away from the area so we're currently looking for new bassist to join Peterborough Big Band after the summer (depending on moving dates!)

 

Peterborough Big Band have been running for over 40 years and play an eclectic mixture of big band arrangements from 1940s swing right through to arrangements of modern pop classics and everything in between. Roughly 50:50 instrumental:vocal

 

Looking for a committed bassist who can make weekly Thursday evening rehearsals. We don't have a lot of paid gigs, but we do a regular evening in the "Brewery Tap" function room in the centre of Peterborough roughly 5 times throughout the year.

 

You need to be able to play from music dots and also be able make up your own lines (often walking bass) from a chords (80-90% of charts are fully written out music)

 

I play bass guitar and double bass (depending on the tune) but double bass is absolutely not a requirement.

 

Great bunch of people. Any questions, let me know. Or come and see our next gig on the 12th of Feb at the Brewery Tap, Peterborough.

 

Links below are from one of our 'Brewery Tap' gigs from a couple of years ago. Awful lighting but you get the idea.
