SEEKING
Band to Join, Acoustic Guitar, Background Singer, Banjo, Bass Guitar, Drums, Lead Guitar, Mandolin, Saxophone, Trombone.ABOUT
Multi-instrumentalist with a passion for folk and Celtic music. My roots are in rock and blues guitar, but I've also been a long-time member for a soul/blues/funk band (playing bass first, then guitar, background vocals and bari sax) and played in brass/marching bands.
At the moment playing Irish trad music around Co.Cavan and Monaghan, wouldn't mind getting into any interesting project/group/duo/trio that might come up.
I like to work on original projects/songs, coming up with interesting harmonies and arrangements. Not a great lyricists (so far!) but I know I can make someone else's work shine in music.
