rocksteadyska

Hey Looking for anyone interested in playing some ska rocksteady dub and reggae based music in the waterford city area.(willing to travel)
currently have a drummer and guitar.

would be looking for bass, keyboard, any brass and vocalist.

influences include, the slackers, senior all stars, king tubby, the specials, anything really.

get in contact if you would be interested.

even if we were to rework popular cover songs and get gigging .

just looking to see if there is any interest and like minded people about

any questions just ask

I may well be interested. I play bass guitar and saxophones and sing. Plenty of ska experience. And I mean plenty!! You going to the ska festival in Tramore this weekend?

Hi I'm playing trombone for 2 years would class myself as a beginner. I can play some of the specials, bad manners on it. A message to you rudy + solo, Guns of navarone + solo in key of G, Ghost town - solo out of my range, Sally brown etc. As I am a beginner would like to get some experience from other brass sections say a jam or rehersal.

I've been playing ska since the start of Skunk back in 2000. No worries with solos, if I'm playing sax that is!! I've been into ska since the 2 Tone era. I'm not bothered by experience level, if it works together that's the most important thing to me. If you happen to be at the Tramore ska festival tonight, say hello!! I'm playing at 9.00 with Skazoo.

anyone else interested?

Kieraneaton

Howya.

Sorry, had a busy few days. I have a garage that I'm clearing at the moment. I can access a night club in Dungarvan when it's closed for practice sessions. How many are interested so far and what instruments have we?

Kieraneaton

We (Skazoo) have a gig in Gleesons in clonmel on the Sunday of the June bank holiday weekend if anyone wants to come have a listen. I'll be on sax that night.

rocksteadyska

guitar, drums, trombone and urself sax.

cool...where are you living? dungarvan might suit too tho

Kieraneaton

I'm living in Dungarvan. Don't forget, I play bass and sing too!! Where are you?

Kieraneaton

We were on at the Tramore ska festival before Neville staple. He had a solo trombone as the brass section. Was hard work for him but sounded great. Would you have any interest in a trumpet player?

rocksteadyska

im in waterford city meself but shouldnt be a problem..wouldnt say no..if you think it wuld be good for the sound..only said tombone and sax because i was thinking along the lines of the band the slackers..u have bass and vocals too so we would still be able to jam with brass..that be great

Kieraneaton

What's your name by the way, do we know each other already? Check out my Facebook page under the same name. I'll ask the missus if she'd be interested. She plays trumpet with Skunk and occasionally with Skazoo. Trumpet certainly isn't necessary but in my opinion it adds a punch that's missed if it's not there.

Hmmm waterford might be a bit to far but might be interested if other project fails,i have played with Bad Manners,The Specials,etc etc and played with ireland's most longest going ska band since 1992,have played rhythm guitar for donkey's years and occasionally filled in with base,not good with lead though!!
