SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I have a wide musical background in my youth of playing recorder at primary school, oboe to Grade 8 at high school, then singing in large choirs and singing to my own guitar in folk clubs at college. Owned a piano and took some lessons in my 20s; but then little music apart from going to folk festivals until by chance getting lent a good piano to keep at home in 2022 and having lessons since then. For the moment I just want to get together occasionally with an unserious band, ideally within 5k of Ainslie, and have fun making music; might be more serious later. May need to buy a portable keyboard first!

Influences
Classical: everything from Bach to Mahler and Elgar, but especially late romantic. Folk: English traditional (e.g. Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention) which I heard in clubs and round campfires as a kid. Rock: mainly 70s prog bands like Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull and Genesis, but like any really good, musically interesting songs, Abba and Madonna included.
