Hello all. I'm looking to put together a heavy blues/southern rock band and need everyone but a singer(like to think that's me). Need a drummer, bass, lead and rhythm(not asking for much eh). I'm a Canadian who's not shy onstage and have been in a couple of bands that unfortunately have moved away from the type of music I love (eg:Pat Travers Born under a bad sign, Jeff Healy Shapes of things or See the light. Check out youtube.) and into heavy metal which just ain't my cup o' tea. I play blues harmonica and am very enthusiastic to put together a serious and S%*t hot band. I live in Sedgefield and truth be told, would prefer to hook up with older players who don't think that 11 is the correct volume to practice to! The goal is to play a couple of gigs a month but NOT to make a living out of it. A practice a week should do i would think. If any of this interests you, contact Eric on 01740620437 or 07861897652.

DRUMMER Available. Blyth based, 36 years old. Lots of experience gigging and recording. Competant with all (well nearly all!) styles of music ranging from complete silence to noisy metal and punk and pretty much everything inbetween. I enjoy playing all styles so I'm not a "one genre pony". Anyhoo i like a laugh and enjoy playing with people who can actually play themselves ~if you or ya band can play more than 3 chords then that is a good starting point lol. The closer to Blyth the better for rehearsals cos I've got the most gear to hump about and setup ;). So if you wanna work with a good drummer who isn't going to magically jump ship to get gigging sooner with another band then get in touch. If you ENJOY spending time getting stuff tight before going out "half shod" like another "we're sloppy but who cares, we're gigging" band then I'm the man fer you bonny lad. Provinding you have personality....Cheers! TheDrummer@live.co.uk

PA ideal for pub bands needing vocals/drums through Front Of House comprising; 
 - 2 off EV Soundstage 2 300W speakers & high stands 
 - 1 off Crown 2400W Power Amp with all cables and leads
I used the above kit to get a great vocal + drum (snare/high hat/cymbals) sound in any sized pub playing a rock set. Crown amps and EV speakers are superb quality and lift the vocals above the back line. If you're not wanting to put guitars through the PA this is a great alternative. Radio condenser mike and mixer also available if required.
An excellent (& reliable) PA for £250.

I am Ste from county durham. I am currently gigging in workingmens clubs and love doing so however i was only filling in for someone. I have a wide range vocally, i can sing quite low and i can also sing very high, for example, maroon 5, one republic. I am quite happy to sing any types of songs but heavy metal would probaly not work for me as i dont think i could sing it. I love all types of music from beatles, one republic, bon jovi, usher, aerosmith . Please let me know if you are interested.  Would love to be in a band that played more indie songs or pop songs    like the script, one republic, coldplay, u2, the hoosiers. scouting for girls , the kooks razor light.  If interested let me know 07731 452 130
