25 yo guitarist/pianist for acoustic collaboration in Dublin

Dave!

Hey guys,

I'm a 25 year old guy from Tallaght, working in the city at the moment. I've been playing guitar for about 10 years, and have been 'teaching' myself piano for the last few years also. I'm neither Jimi Hendrix nor Beethoven, but I can hammer out nice acoustic versions of songs, so that's what I'm mostly interested in I sing a bit too.

I'm not just throwing it out there are as a banal comment when I say that I listen to all sorts of music! For example in terms of songwriters I'm going through a Gary Barlow phase at the moment, and before that I was obsessed with Alan Menken/Disney music, and I also love some musicals - Jesus Christ Superstar, Les Mis, etc.

But don't be deterred by that! My day-to-day listening and influences include:

• Tom Waits
• Leonard Cohen
• Simon & Garfunkel
• Bob Dylan
• Beach Boys
• Mick Flannery
• Irish ballads/the Dubliners
• ... and sometimes: Sam Cooke, Jack Johnson, Frank Sinatra, Guns n Roses, Villagers, Joni Mitchell, Led Zeppelin, Carole King

I've never played in a band before, and am not sure what I'm looking for out of it really. I'm just getting a bit bored of playing music on my own with the lights off and the curtains drawn!

Would just like to get together with any other musicians who are of a similar mindset, and preferably around my age too. I'm interested in getting into songwriting, but am struggling with it at the moment, so maybe this would get the creative juices flowing!

I can't really offer a place to practice/jam, so I'm not sure how to resolve this logistical problem - but I'm open to any suggestions!

Hope this post wasn't too long

Cheers,

Dave

Dave!

Hi, I'm in the same boat and, almost, neighbourhood. My tastes wouldn't be dissimilar. I've been trying my hand at guitar for years and piano in recent years. I've also been playing around with Ableton live on the laptop, from time to time, if you want some backing.

I'll PM you with detail.
