New drummer needed

mikkhu

New drummer needed for blues+ collective. We play in different configurations depending on who's available at the time...Singer, guitarists, harmonica players, flute, synth...re-working blues standards and writing some original material as well...Coronavirus unemployment sent our drummer back to Sardinia, so new blood needed...you'll find some low-fi recordings at

Hi,
I'm interested in this idea, where are you based?

mikkhu

We're in Dublin...we usually meet for rehearsals in Brian Boru pub or Troubadour Studios, but we're always on the lookout for other spots and as we're spread across the city, we're gonna have a few more options for rehearsal spaces to suit whoever happens to be free

Sugar, I'm down south. If I ever get back to the capitol will give you a shout.
Nice idea, good luck with it.

Hi... might be interested in this. I tried your soundcloud link, but not hearing any 'blues standards'....
What exactly do you play, as in a possible list of a few tunes. Been playing a long time myself, mostly session work at the moment. Pm if you don't want to post here. Thanks...

Maybe I should have been more clear...I would have thought that Going Down Slow, Me & the Devil, Spoonful etc are blues standards, no?..Granted, we don't play them in the standard way, but that's the whole point. We're trying to re-work these songs. We're not trying to create faithful reproductions of old songs, we're taking this old songs and playing them in a new way, which is why we have a dude who plays synth and flute for example.

Here's a list of what we've been playing recently

Born Under a Bad Sign
Going Down Slow

I Can't Quit You Baby
Little Red Rooster
Spoonful
Back Door Man

Stormy Monday
Me and the Devil
Killing Floor
The Thrill is Gone

Folsom Prison Blues
Sweet Home Chicago
In the Pines
Driftin Blues
Back Door Man
Everyday I Have the Blues...

Very good.... I clicked on the wrong SoundCloud user, so heard the wrong tracks. Would be interested when the 'lockdown' comes to an end.

Billy,

Didn't spot your message until now, it was on a new page..as for where to meet, I only have to carry a guitar, and have a car so can travel - and drums are more hassle, so I'm happy to let you decide where to meet...

mikkhu

I'm free Wednesday and Thursday evenings by the way

Hey guys, if you're looking for more musicians, I'm interested too though I don't know many blues standards but willing to learn. Also have a post about some classic rock stuff if you guys are interested in that too.

mikkhu

Hi derwc,

I'm not really into Rock but am always interested in getting more musicians on board...what do you play?
