    Hi there,

    55 yr old singer ( old school frontman) actually knows how to work an audience. Have mostly played in Originals bands however will consider covers for the right set up. Really like the artists you are talking about and would definitely like an audition ( I like the idea of not just being some lame cover band but actually putting on a show

    Here is my last single


    Here is me on utube with a sing co written by me singing a song that has had 3.5 million plays on soundcloud

    I live in Sallins Co.Kildare , remember a singer you can get,

    A frontman well they are a little bit harder 🤣🤣

    Cheers

    Hi Kevin,

    I wish I'd seen this post earlier. I'm a drummer in the right age bracket and I couldn't have put together a better setlist than that. I have almost 50 years rock/pop experience, covers and original backing vocals. I note you have a couple of drummers on standby but if anything changes I'd love to meet up/audition. I live in kilkenny.

    The very best of luck with the project.

    Cheers

    Alfie

    Hi Alfie,

    Thank you for your response to this boards ad.

    There are two guitarists and bassist involved thus far rehearsing the first 10 tracks of this PROJECT ROCK 70s/80s BAND SET. We are using a PRE WRITTEN drum track programmed via TOONTRACK Superior Drummer II as our guide. It's a great FOUNDATION but obviously not the real thing until a drummer is put in place. The final rehearsal tracks will be recorded to MP3 file and then sent via email to prospective drummers for analysis/rehearsal with auditions for interested capable drummers to follow (probably in July 2022).

    Your name is on the list !

    Regards

    KEVIN

    You guys have already what I would have to offer (I am an excellent lead guitarist with similar gear/age/experience/locale)

    Reason for posting is I'd love a lot of those bands. When you get going I'd love to go see guys playing when you get it up & running to - with respect - see if you can walk that great talk 😉
