Bassist required for well established Ska & 2Tone band

[Steve1967]

Bass player needed to replace me in a well established long standing Ska & 2Tone band as I have too many projects going on to continue with this one. 

 

Members based around Oxfordshire, Northants, Bucks, most gigs in this area. 

 

Most gigs are parties, weddings, beer festivals, music festivals, ticket events, not many pub gigs, a few members clubs. 
 

Great fun set, Madness, The Specials, Bad Manners, The Beat, Dexys.  6 piece band, with extra brass added for some larger gigs. 
 

Average 20–30 gigs last couple of years, mainly Spring to Autumn due to festival and event season.

 

Average player fee between £120-£160 a gig. Most members 50+ but sax in her 20’s so age, or gender is no barrier. 
 

A fun outfit, good musicians, not a band that needs to rehearse very often, laid back, well managed and organised.

 

if you want any further details, or to throw your hat into the ring, drop me a pm with your details and I’ll send it through to the guys. 
 

Cheers

 

Steve

Hello Steve - are you still needing to find a replacement bass player ?

 

played for many years from 70s to current and was in ska and reggae band over in Birmingham but singer went to do other  stuff at Xmas . 

I am stratford on Avon but have normally travelled about hour or so to rehearsal when needed so that unlikely to be an issue

I’m definitely interested in hearing more details about the band and the kind of sound you’re looking for. I’ve got plenty of experience playing in similar styles and would love to chat further.
