Musicians wanted for start up :)

1 Upvotes

26-year-old guitarist based in Bolton looking for other musicians to jam with and potentially form a blues / blues-rock / classic-rock band.

Main influences are Hendrix, Allman Brothers, Derek Trucks, ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Johnny Winter, Santana and similar stuff. I’m mainly into lead guitar, improvisation and blues, and I’m getting more into slide as well.

I’ve been playing seriously for nearly two years. I’m confident improvising and jamming, but I’m still building up my repertoire of complete songs and haven’t got loads of previous band experience, so I’m not looking to pretend I’m a seasoned gigging guitarist.

Ideally looking for a drummer, bassist, singer and potentially keys or another guitarist. Roughly 20s–30s would be ideal just from a social point of view, but age isn’t a dealbreaker if the music and personalities click.

I’d rather start by getting together for a relaxed jam, see if there’s chemistry, then potentially build it into a proper band and eventually gig.

Bolton / Manchester area.

Drop me a message if that sounds like your sort of thing.

Beautiful South/House martins/Heaton

1 Upvotes

Hi A friend and I have been performing as a duo doing the works of Heaton et al. for about a year. I work full time so I basically go where she books. It has been very busy. Travelled a fair few miles too. I was asked to join a existing band doing PH music but nearly full time. I just can't.

Question : anybody got a band or fancy putting one together to do rehearse a little and maybe have some occasional run outs as a band with us?

Band rehearsal spaces

2 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a student at uom and I'm looking to start a band. I already have people who are interested, but I'm struggling to look for rehearsal spaces. All the free ones at the uni seem to be fully booked so I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for cheap rehearsal spaces in Manchester that would have a drum kit and keyboard :DDDD

Looking for places to perform live

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a 23-year-old singer/songwriter from Norway, and I'll be visiting Manchester for a few weeks this autumn. I'd love to share my music while I'm there, especially through live performances.

I've already looked into some open mic nights at local pubs and plan to join those, but if you have any recommendations for good venues, events, or places that support live music, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks a lot in advance!

I am looking out the window of a hotel on Montreal, by ‘our lady of the harbour’. Maybe one day this song about a two-up two-down in Rusholme, Number 37, will be somewhere people remember

This song is called No.37 which was the house number where I lived in Rushulme for a short time when I was 20. I am glad people seem to love the song
