Soledad Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I've been out of the live / band scene a very good time now, but I had a quick blast with a drummer and guitar the other day. Brilliant - I need to find some reasonable players of other instruments in my area. Tried a post on the local dad's network (FB) - waste of time. Any ideas at all how I do this?

Jakester Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I don’t use Facebook so don’t know how well that works, but I have had some success through Gumtree in the past. Never got anywhere with JMB, but depending where you are Bandmix might also be worth a go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soledad Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Thanks @SpondonBassed and @Jakester. - JMB and bandmix are both worth a go for me, maybe try gumtree too. It's probably about getting in the local mix, just getting to know some players and see what develops from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt4ever Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Chatting to local music shops, finding out where open mics are being help could open up a few contacts. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxos10 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 You could also put an ad up at your local rehearsal studio and on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seashell Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Are there any open mics, jams or even gigs you can go to in your area? Even if you don't get up and play, I have found that just chatting to local musicians opens up a few avenues. I hesitate to call it 'networking' as that sounds a bit corporate, but just establishing contacts can work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked open mics round here - bloody loads of 'em !! I'll try one or two just as a silent observer (initially at least). Probably give JMB a go too, why not ??! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
