ABOUT

I'm looking to join up with other musicians with similar tastes within reasonable driving distance (say 100 km or so). I've been playing for a long time, but have only been concentrating on improving in the last couple of years, and have picked up bass and fiddle in the last year. I also play out frequently - that means I play a jam or open mic or something about every week. I'm interested in busking, open mics, public-service-type gigs like hospitals and seniors homes, then eventually doing more formal gigs. I'm not looking to make a career of music, just have some fun. I'm looking to play upright bass mostly, but most of my experience is on guitar and I'm learning fiddle as well.
