Hi!
I am looking for a female guitar player to help me out on guitar. I'm keen to learn to play.
My husband would teach me but can't for the time being. I have a guitar and would like to play for my own pleasure or maybe eventually as part of something bigger. I am time limited to school runs, so time is a slight problem, although I am usually available on Sundays.
Looking for a female guitar player in West Lothian as I live in West Lothian, someone who is willing to jam with me and show me chords etc. I've enquired with some other folk, but the cost was too much. So girls, if you fancy helping me out, I'd be grateful and a happy bunny!
Please reply to my husbands' e-mail as I'm having problems with my address.
It's derek.porter406@gmail.com or look me up on Facebook , Katrina Porter

All sorts of musicians required for Edinburgh-based "chamber pop" band!

Singer/songwriter/guitarist in mid 50s seeks highly competent and creative musicians to form an exceptional pop/rock band with folk, prog and classical influences. I have a drummer and would be open to all sorts of musicians but particularly seek a keys/piano player; bassist; guitarist and cellist (also possibly violin and flute). I have very many songs of different types but would be happy for these to take on different directions influenced by the preferences and creativity of the musicians. Chamber pop anyone? 

Go to SoundCloud:  https://soundcloud.com/user-835057641  to hear some songs.

Established rock/indie covers band - seeking lead guitarist

Audio Thieves are looking for a new lead guitarist to join our well established 5 piece rock and indie covers band.
We are based in Glasgow and across central Scotland.
As you will see, we play many of the usual tracks ... and some a bit 'left field'. Our current, very talented lead guitarist, is moving on to pastures new, so the opportunity is available for someone looking to join a great bunch of guys and to gig with us (once up to speed... hopefully by end of the year).
We are all in the age group - mid 30s to mid 50s.... but will not discount anyone on age .... playing ability and 'fit' with the band is the real key.
Obviously you would need to show a fair amount of commitment in the early months for rehearsals to get up to speed (3 or 4 sessions per month) and thereafter to be willing to commit to at least 1 gig (or more) a month.
We do this for the music and the fun of it (like most, we all have families and work commitments), so anyone looking to make good money from this we are probably not the band for you.
Anyone interested or wish to know more please get in touch .... please be genuine... and please, no timewasters ... thanks

Hi, We're (The Lonely Souls)looking for a support band for our album launch in Stereo, Glasgow, Friday 1 Sep 2017. Hopefully be able to match up a similar sounding band for a decent night.
We will provide the backline (you bring the usual - symbols,snare etc, own guitars) printed tickets (£5 entry).
You keep all the money from your ticket sales.
We would ask that you half the venue and sound man cost (it's not that much of an expense which we can discuss via PM).

Hi there, I am 29 years old vocalist located in Edinburgh, Leith Walk. I study music, play piano. I am strong and confident and enjoy perfoming on stage. Currently looking for a band that I can really commit to. I have a good knowledge of music theory. I am able to write songs, I know how to work out chords, enjoy a lot singing with others and building up a vocal harmony. My voice is an alto, but I am comfortable singing rather low, so I usually either take the main melody or lower parts. I like a wide range of music genres, ranging from rock, alternative, indie, electronic to jazz, blues and funky particularly. I fancy working on my own tunes as well. I have a few of them already. I can do some midi sequencing - Logic Pro and Cubase.
I have recorded in a studio a few times before.
If I am someone you are looking for, please give me a shout

So girls, if you fancy helping me out, I'd be grateful and a happy bunny!

I want to find musicians who are interested in putting together a tribute band based business.  There are bands who have a following and there are tribute bands making pretty decent cash from those followers. The plan is to target popular bands who we can reproduce their songs fairly quickly but to a high standard.  I'm not interested in playing the obscure songs of these bands but the well known songs which were their chart hits. To pad out our playing time the concept is to partner up bands that we cover by genre and or era therefore The Sweet and Slade are a good partnership as they are both from the 70s and are both glam rock bands, so if we only have a set of each bands material then we can either perform 2 separate sets where each set is dedicated to one band per set or we could offer a mix N match program.
Favourites I'm thinking about at the moment are: The Sweet, Slade, Marc Bolan and T Rex and The Rolling Stones.
If your interested, reply to ruddysloss@gmail.com outlining what you can bring to the situation and lets meet up for a pint and try to get this on the road sooner than later.

Our style of music is doom/sludge/stoner metal/hard rock infused with strong influences of psychedelic/progressive/garage rock, driven by powerful guitar and keyboard riffs, and backed by jazz/funk influenced rhythm section of bass and drums.

We are heavily influenced by bands like The Doors, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, The Seeds and Black Sabbath.

We do have a Facebook page- https://www.facebook.com/HeavyPlantMovement/

If you would like to listen to our music, we currently have 2 demos and are working on recording our album in the next couple of weeks.

Pro Folk Band forming; seeking multi-instrumentalist and accordion player.
I have recorded a self-played 'solo' CD and am now seeking musicians to tour the album. I have agency and production support on board. The material is a re-imagining of some well known Celtic folk songs (much the way that Springsteen re-imagined the Seeger Songbook, albeit on a much smaller budget!).

I'm looking for two players
1 – someone comfortable on electric and acoustic guitars, who can do a bit of fingerstyle on acoustic as well as a bit of electric lead & rhythm work. Backing vox are a must. Ideally you would be able to double on something else as well (mandolin preferably).
2 – a competent accordion player with an electric or electrified box. Or be prepared to get one. Backing vocals would be nice but not essential. Likewise an ability to double on something else.

Good gear, reliable transport and internet access are pretty much prerequisite too.
I'm hoping that this project reaches the stage where we will be on the road. If you are a full-time pro, so much the better. I'll still take applications if you meet all the other criteria though.
I'd prefer this gig to go to someone that I haven't worked with before. For no other reason than I'd prefer a whole new dynamic to this band rather than carrying over from previous bands. But if this ad doesn't get any results I may be coming to tap some auld pals on the shoulder.

Hello, I'm Ally and I go by the stage name "Acoustic Ally".
I am an experienced guitar/vocal performer in venues such as lively pubs, house parties, cafes/restaurants, and hotel bars. 
Drawing from over 450 songs I can tailor a set to work in any of the above settings. I would describe my set as mainly 60s - 90s rock, pop, and soul classics, but I can deliver some more recent hits too. Whatever the age-range I can guarantee to create a positive vibe in your venue.
I'm 100% reliable, have my own PA system and am able to travel to work daytime or nights around the Glasgow area. As an alternative to solo work (depending on the venue's budget), I often gig as a duo. For this I use an excellent percussionist / vocalist, which really fills the sound which works well with a bigger "weekend" crowd.
Some examples of my songs can be seen at http://www.acoustically.co/music/
Videos of duo work http://www.acoustically.co/
Many thanks for looking. Ally

MOD BAND SEEK DRUMMER, RHYTHM GUITARIST AND KEYS PLAYER.
I play bass and I've just started a project with a lead guitarist as a mod/soul/jazz/blues/60's rock and roll sortof of sound. We're both 18 and 20 and from west Lothian so it'd be ideal if you fall into that sortof area though it's really not important. Our main inspirations are Paul Weller's solo material, the kinks, the kingsmen, James brown, the Beatles, the who, the small faces and the faces. We're also into a lot of more obscure artists like muddy waters, Robert Johnson, booker T and the MG's etc though we don't want to tie people to certain genres or sounds, if you bring something different to the mix all the better! We both have experience in active bands in terms of writing and playing gigs and I have contacts to a local label, promoters, venues, photographers, radio stations etc so we'd be on a good path.

Bass player wanted

Big Tuna is a well-established, Edinburgh/Fife-based rock covers band with regular pub, club and wedding gigs. We are a group of 40-somethings with day job careers. We love performing but also balance this with a family life and other interests, playing 2-3 gigs/month mainly around east central Scotland. 

We are now looking to recruit an experienced bassist. Any backing vocal abilities, while not essential, would be an additional asset.

In addition to having professional standard bass, amp and associated equipment you must have your own transport as we play throughout the Central Belt of Scotland (and sometimes beyond). It is essential that you are a team player and someone who enjoys playing great rock classics and contemporary rock/indie tunes. You can find out more about this by checking out our current set list on our website: www.bigtuna.co.uk

We are all professional and dedicated but very much a part time band so if you are looking to be a full time musician we are NOT for you.

Our goal is to find a reliable, like-minded and competent bassist who loves to play great music live with the added bonus of picking up some spare cash on the side when doing so. If that sounds like you please feel free to get in touch. 

For further details please contact Bill on 07974 720669

Alternative Rock Band Versace Smile are looking for a Keyboard Player.

Due to a change of circumstance we find that we are in need of an experienced keyboard player.
Our ideal candidate will have the ability to incorporate a Hammond, Piano and Synth sound into our new set which is under progress.
If you do not have the means at the moment to emulate the above, the band would consider obtaining the necessary boards and modules to suit if the right person came  along. We have a wide range of influences mainly from the punk era and draw a lot of inspiration from The Stranglers.

Our only criteria are that you are dedicated, enthusiastic and honest.

Our plan is to start afresh with new material already in progress, building a new set retaining the sound that has become our niche.

Any creative input or otherwise will be warmly received, we believe in everyone playing their part to making the band a success.

You can hear some of our older material at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kseqkeUKMTA

Thanks for reading, VS.

Premises would need to be secure and comfortable enough to work in. Cuddly toys would be a bonus.

Hi, 
I am a singer, composer, songwriter and I play keys.
I love the work of artists such as Radiohead, PJ Harvey, Warpaint, Portishead, Blonderedhead, Tricky , Goldfrapp, Massive Attack, Alt J, Nick Cave, Bat for Lashes, ben Christophers, Tom Waits mainly artists who like to experiment with sounds and with a strong interest in creating bluesy and unconventional melodies. 
You can find my sound cloud here to listen to some of my music: digit serena brindisi she wolf in your sound cloud research. 
and to see if you could be interested in being an artistic partner :) 
I will be delighted to meet someone who plays guitar and\or is interested in electronic, synth and samples.. anyway if you think we can have similar musical tastes and interests I will be happy to receive your reply. It is also very important for me a serious commitment to music along with experience since music is everything for me and i am very serious about it.

Guitar Vocalists Wanted for new bar gig.
Hi all.   The Rat Pack Live Music Bar are introducing solo guitar vocalists Thursdays to Saturdays 8-11pm slot from July through December (and very possibly additional week nights during December for xmas party's).   The money is set for everyone, £80 cash at the end of each gig and all gear is setup, so walk in, plug in and play.  3 x 45min sets.  
There is already a piano entertainer 11pm-3am 7 nights, so the purpose being to bring new business to earlier opening hours.    The west end is going to get a lot busier in the coming months with the opening of a new restaurant above the bar, and also the trams operating.     If the new 8-11pm slots prove successful over the six months there is every chance this will be rolled out to 7 nights a week also so this is a good opportunity for a regular slot.

For those of you who have not played at the bar before, the repertoire is typical guitar/vocalist pub entertainer so all your usual pub standards will be fine.

If you are interested in potentially having a night a week, please get back to me with your availability during those months.   
Any questions, just ask!
Cheers Al James

Edinburgh-based 41-year old lead rock guitarist available and ready to join an established working band in the Edinburgh/ Central Belt area ASAP.

Been playing for 30 years, not non-stop, of course...........

Main influences....Lizzy, Maiden, Priest, UFO, Sabbath......that kind of thing. Favourite players - Gary Moore, Michael Schenker, Dave Meniketti, Adrian Smith, John Sykes, Glenn Tipton to name but a few.

I've been in various covers and originals bands down the years, love playing and gigging and having a great time playing the music I and the punters love. It's all about having fun and enjoying yourself after all. I'm more than comfortable playing lead or rhythm, and happy to split things up equally in 2 guitar setups. I love twin harmonies and dynamics in the sound, so hopefully I can find something in this vein.

I have all my own pro gear and transport, will travel for gigs and rehearsals within reasonable distances, but am fairly flexible.

Sooo... there you have it. If you need me, drop me a line on here or give me a call so we can talk business.

Cheers!

Matthew
