********************** Keyboards looking for bass, lead guitar and drums aged 30+ (give or take) to form a new working band. If you can double up with backing/harmony vocals bring your voice too. Blues/rock/covers + original material with influences from Springsteen, Stones, Tinsley Ellis, Petty etc. Singer already on board. Rehearsals will be in Peterhead. (music room with basic drum kit set up here for rehearsing). Dedicated, competent and experienced people required, not thrash merchants (sounds a bit harsh but best get that out of the way now ). **********************

Don't tell anyone ... but we ain't "supposed" to play music ..... yeah, right!

Good point Ross, it's probably stating the obvious but I reckon anyone serious about the work would have their own PA, mic etc. and transport. I've spent enough time and money in the past supplying the kit and playing taxi driver to people who will "get some gear together soon" I don't mind anyone going through my system, and I don't mind giving anyone a lift or helping out where ever I can, but after the first couple of years it gets annoying .... in the past I've sort of got sick of being the only one to put money into a show, after all, the money gets split 50/50 so why not the input? That's where the line comes from about 'own gear', it's to try and weed out this aspect before they get to thinking it's a free ride. Experience has shown me that when somebody puts money where their mouth is (no pun intended), it usually means they can do the job, it means they know the value of kit and treat it with respect, and they are the sort of people who don't vanish when it's their round!! In an ideal world it wouldn't matter and it would all be down to the music, but hey .... who lives in an ideal world. How would you feel if I turned up to play with you, and you had to supply everything I used and provide me with transport? Reading back over this it sounds like I'm a bit of an ogre or skinflint ..... I'm not, I'm lucky enough to have made a lot of money out of music ... and I've put nearly all of it back in, I've played more charity gigs than I can remember, so I may be out of order, but I expect similar commitment from those I work with. Putting the requirement up front saves the argument later.

I'm not surprised .... just frustrated.

Ok, I give up. Are there any vocalists out there who aren't teenage wannabes, got some real mileage behind them and can do the job??? Looking for the proverbial 'good' singer, own gear, Peterhead area, might be semi pro but definately got more than a few years on the road. Less than 40 years young .... keep practising!! Into anything that isn't opera, thrash, punk or that noisy stuff people make when their ego writes cheques that their talent can't cash. Serious keyboard player looking to do serious damage (in a melodic way.) SORRY ABOUT THIS BUT TWO YEARS ON THIS SITE WITH NO REAL RESPONSE IS JUST A BIT FRUSTRATING !!!

Hi, I'm looking to do something new. If you're not fixed up yet check out http://www.deadloud.co.uk/history1.htm for a bio. Let me know. Steve.

Like Gold-dust ???? I give up!! www.deadloud.co.uk/studio1.htm I might have toooo many years, but I got the gear, the ability and the experience. Best of luck with the search chaps.

Looking for an experienced vocalist to finish a Christian album and maybe tour alongside keyboards. Last album hit No.1 in NCM charts. Last singer was female (moved out of the area) but will work with either, you'll need to be modern in your approach and live in the Peterhead area. age 35-45 preferred with commitment. email: steve@deadloud.co.uk initially.

Interest? I live in Peterhead, play keyboards and looking for a singer, loads of experience in live work and recording, I need someone who can work alongside decent gear and contribute to a recording and writing environment. have a look at my profile and see if we got anything in common. Steve.
