Hi, I'm Ian, I'm 50, I live in Skipton, and I write songs. I can sing well but I don't play an instrument, I write it all in my head.
I have to describe myself as an amateur as I don't have any formal musical training or performing experience. Obviously it's difficult to be completely objective about your own songs, but I feel I have some very strong ideas- very strong lyrics and melodies. I'm looking for a band/musicians to work with to get my song ideas out of my head and into people's ears.
Genres are mainly pop-rock and alt/prog-rock. Think of a spectrum with The Beatles at one end, passing through Bowie and Pink Floyd, and ending somewhere around Radiohead. It isn't Metal though, it's definitely prog or alt-rock. There are some heavier ones in there, and some lighter ones too. Lots of guitar and and keys.
Most of my songs ideas have been in my head for a long time and I 'hear' most of them almost in their entirety. So what I'd like to do is get a version down which is as close as possible to how it sounds in my head, and then the proper musicians cast their ears over it and figure out what's what. Obviously that will mean me doing guitar impressions at you which will be terrible for you I know!
Folks close to Skiptonish area would be great. I'm a no ego, down to earth guy. My number is 07522 519141, probably best to text first-off in case I'm working, driving or something. It would be great to hear from you for a chat about it.
Thanks for reading, Ian.
