Dep wanted for two Big Band gigs - June/July West Midlands

[StingRayBoy42]

Hey folks
I know it's a long shot, but I'm in need of a dep for two gigs with the Jones Jazz Orchestra -
Sunday 14th June (afternoon) at Church End brewery in Atherstone CV10 0RD and Saturday 4th July (Evening) at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Stratford-upon- Avon CV37 6YR

The June gig is playing funk and latin stuff (which is an absolute hoot to play) and the July gig is a tribute to the Rat Pack (which is also fun to play) Upright would be a lovely bonus for the Rat Pack gig but it's not a dealbreaker.

We're a community (ie: amatuer) band so it wouldn't be a 'proper' gig fee but there will be a few quid in it for you.

They're a good bunch and they make a decent noise!

It's all reading, dots can be provided beforehand.

If you can only do one, that's still helpful.

Any quetions, please DM me

Ta!


PS: Please don't be better than me! 😳

Oh man I wish there was something like that closer to me!

 

I did 10 years doing Big Band and loved it.

I can send the dots over this afternoon/evening if you fancy having a look?

Thanks - I'll give them a spin and let you know how I get on. Can you send the Rat Pack set list over too?
