Ideally, you’ll be as committed to the cause as we are and be full of ideas for songs, lyrics, recording and performances because you will be an integral part of shaping the band. You’ll also need transport, time and dedication. If this has you clenching your fist and saying “Yeah, that’s for me!” please send your contact details and a bit of info to outforblood@hotmail.com and we’ll be in touch.

Definitely a drummer and a bass player and preferably also a guitarist and/or keyboard player. Being able to sing backing vox would be a massive bonus. I'm a singer/guitarist/keyboard player experienced mostly playing my own material but now want to bring in a second income through music. Whilst I'm sure it will be a lot of fun I would want musicians prepared to be committed and professional. In terms of music, it would be as commercial as necessary so initially it would be indie and rock: Kings of Leon, Beatles, Killers etc... but whatever the crowd enjoys would have to come first!

Durham City area based acoustic guitarist, 31 yo, looking for a singer/songwriter to pair up with. My main influence on the acoustic guitar is Tommy Emmanuel and I can play quite a few of his tunes so would consider myself to be intermediate level. I would love to pair up ideally with another Tommy fan of similar or better ability to work on acoustic duets of originals and standards. If you can sing, all the better! I can write a decent melody and have a few original pieces that are crying out for good vocals. My main influences on the electric guitar are Metallica and Floyd, so hopefully this paints a picture of what I might play and sound like. If you want a demo, search YouTube for kingwahwah. Is there anybody out there? Contact Neil at neil.pragnell@googlemail.com
