| Description |
I'm a 62 yr old male bass player. I started playing aged 16 and am now returning to music after a 20 year gap.
In that time Americana has happened - and I love it!
I hear story songs, real instruments played with craft and skill, passionate vocals with harmonies and soul. Add that to the deep library of blues, country and rock classics and there's a wealth of songs to play.
I'm looking to meet musicians to play for our own pleasure - laughs but no gigs - I've done that.
I'm looking for folks with a compatible attitude and sound rather than virtuosity.
If you have a voice, strings, skins, reeds, or keys and a sense of humour and fancy this, please get in touch for a chat.
Five reasons to do so:
1. It'll get you out of the house one evening a week,
2. Having a laugh and a few drinks,
3. Meeting like minds,
4. Enjoy trying new things and satisfying yourself,
5. Rediscovering ringing ears in the morning - and it's not post COVID tinnitus! (like I have.)

I like that quote - something along the lines of, 'I like all music except the songs I don't...'
I recently re-found Radio Caroline and in the week it's taken for me to get this together, they've introduced to Sarah Jarosz and Jace Everett,
two young artists that add to my c50 years of listening to music like...
The Commitments,
Led Zeppelin,
Jeff Beck,
Sheryl Crow,
Tedeschi Trucks,
Ray Charles,
Paul Brady,
Mary Black,
The Eagles,
Stevie Ray Vaughan,
to name but 10...
