    Drummer (23) living in inchicore wants to start a reggae/ska band,

    I have been playing drums for a few years, played in gigging bands

    but never got too excited about the music we were playing.

    So I have decided to start my own band which I know Iwill enjoy.

    Dont care who wants to play what, but a basist/ guitarist/ singer/ sax / trumpet player would be a good place to start.

    Cheers

    Killian

    Hey!
    Guitarist here. 19, living between Maynooth and Nort Dublin. Would love to start a ska band. I also play a bit of trumpet too. Was in a band for a while too but wasn't too excited about it. Want to gig with a ska band, especially if it's ska-punk. Stuff like Operation Ivy, The Clash, The Specials, Reel Big Fish, Catch 22. Anyway let me know if you're interested or wanna jam some time.

    Hey,

    I'm a singer and I already sing reggae, would love to go live as I do now with backing tracks.

  • Registered Users Posts: 48 jivedude


    Yes can come to dublin but has to be a solid arrangement cos i'll be travelling from Wexford pls.
