Singer wanted, Kent

[NHM]

I'm a bass player, many years experience, and have been in a classic rock covers band for the last year with a terrific guitarist and an amazing ex-pro drummer - we're very tight/gig ready but we just don't seem to be able to recruit a singer up to the job or willing to commit.

Anyone out there who fancies a bit of serious fun and who loves classic rock repertoire?

We rehearse in studios in Canterbury.

Hey mate, why don’t you sing and I’ll come and play bass

All joking aside, which studios are you rehearsing at, I’m in Canterbury also and we’re fast running out of studios here

[NHM]

No, you come and sing and I'll still play bass!

If anyone knows a decent singer in the area who is looking for a new band, please will you pass this on?

(just spoke to our guitarist who reckons he's better that 'terrific')

[NHM]

We'd be also open to a singer who is also a 2nd guitarist or keyboard player.

You don't want me singing mate, sorry

Love Doghouse

You looking for male, female or either?

 

[NHM]

either

Shame, I'm in Deal but too busy to do anything else at the moment. Do you have a name, so when you finally get a singer, I'll come and check you out. I like a bit of well played classic rock.

good luck

We've been going with the current line up of guitar, bass and drums for a year and for most of that time we had a brilliant singer - however he's left us to resume a pro-touring career which had been curtailed by lockdown (we knew this would happen sooner or later). So we are looking to replace him. As for choosing a name, it hasn't been a high priority as we haven't yet put out any publicity - but we're currently calling ourselves 'Slow Burn' - which is turning out to be prophetic! 

[police squad]

Slow burn,   nice

who was your old singer?

I'm wondering if we might know each other, (although I've not played in Faversham for some quite considerable time)

[NHM]

probably should be discreet over names...

If you know anyone you think might be interested, do send them my way...

[NHM]

we're still looking. Auditioned about half a dozen since my last posting, sadly none cut the mustard for one reason or another.

Is it asking too much to find someone that ticks these five boxes:

• a bit of charisma
• a decent range
• a bit of raw power
• reliable
• gets 'em in while we're setting up

no. 5 obvs being the critical one.
