Singer/Songwriter looking for Backing Musicians

    I'm a 23 year old singer/songwriter from Dublin looking to recruit some backing musicians to create a fuller sound for my original music. I have been playing the Dublin music scene for the last two years in such venues as The Academy, The Workman's Club, The Mercantile , Whelans and many more. My playing has involved both being in bands and also playing solo. I am looking for a drummer, bassist, lead guitarist and keyboard player. Creative control will belong to myself but I am willing to listen to any ideas that may further the music.
    My influences for my writing are Oasis, Kodaline, Ed Sheeran ,The Fray, Coldplay, A Great Big World and many others.
    As well as having plenty of gigging experience , I also a have a background in music management and promotion. I have studied music management in college and have learned the basic ins and outs of the music business and I am also a promoter running a weekly music night in Tallaght.
    Goals:
    When a band is recruited, I wish to have us practice once or twice a week for 5/6 months and then I will pay to record an E.P and with hope we will play the festival circuit next summer.
    Money:
    Practice fees will be split between the group and so will any money received from paid gigs. I will pay for any recordings and P.R campaigns.

    I am a 21 Year old Guitarist/Singer from Dublin, i've played up and down Ireland with bands and as a 2 piece, can guarantee regular gigs in the likes of the Gypsy Rose and Voodoo Lounge due to connections, i write a lot and have a very wide taste in music, the indie bands you've listed off wouldn't be high on my list but as long as we're playing originals i don't mind.

    Creative control belongs to you in what sense? Lyric wise and vocals presumably?
