Bass player needed

Posted By : Kingpin (Keith) | Comments : 8

Kingpin require a new bass player

Sorry for posting this on the back of Alyerpal's earlier one but we need to keep this visible for anyone that might browse.

After 5 years, Swiftys work, marriage plans and bloody caravanning exploits have caught up with him and wants to hang up his bass to pursue campsites local and not local :-).

This obviously leaves a big hole in the band which will need to fill reasonably quickly (Swift has kindly agreed to continue till we get sorted-bless him!)

Kingpin gig regularly, maintain many repeat bookings, do not carry any ego's easy to get along with and are really a band who are the "sum of the parts" All we ask is that whoever takes up this position can commit to doing plenty of well paid gigs, willing to learn new material and carry a certain amount of stage presence. Backing vocals would be good but not essential We have just invested in new PA equipment and have a nearly full diary

If any of you know of any bass players who might be interested in this great opportunity please contact us. 07799308283 or keith@bowers1.com

Thanks guys

Keith
