SEEKING

ABOUT

I am a 35-year-old, British male. I have been living in Toronto for the past 5 years and I’m looking to form/join an originals band. I do work full time and that is my main career, unless the band really takes off!

I am primarily a bassist and have played many gigs/shows in my native Manchester and in the North of the UK in my early 20’s. Most notably regular gigs at the Dry Bar in Manchester to a crowd of 50-100 people and the 2007 Beached festival in Scarborough, to a crowd of 8000-10,000 people.

I have a opinions, I am a far-leftist, and I want to bring that to my music. There are myriad challenges facing humanity and its future. I want to confront that with my music. My belief in fighting for the best future for humanity, fighting for total equality and the end of human suffering, and my musical skills are what I bring to the table.
