Band to Join, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard.ABOUT
I have been playing in bands since I was 26. I played in a number of showbands both in Brisbane and Melbourne. The Big Bopper Showband and Shake rattle and Roll and the Bop till Ya Drop Rock and Roll Show here in Brisbane playing all the places back in the day. Everywhere from City Rowers to Seagulls, and The Full Deck Showband in Melbourne where we worked 3 gigs a week from the Vic border to all over the greater city of Melbourne. We were moderately successful and I did most of the character asassinations. I play guitar and sing. I can usually master what I put my mind to. Have done lots of classic and country rock over the years and would like to continue this in retirement with some like minded people.
