BLUES-ROCK DRUMMER REQUIRED

2006-11-14T10:35:00.000Z

We're Silk Road. We've been playing a repertoire of (mainly) covers together as 'Deja' for a few years. With the recent departure of our drummer we're taking a new direction, focusing on Blues Rock and more original material. We're all the wrong side of 40 and do it for fun; what we get paid should cover your broken sticks, beer and travel expenses though.

Rehearsals near Hurst; gigs in any pub that will have us !

Interested ? Call Norman on 07900 244220
