Looking for a guitar player (vocals useful but not essential ), preferably acoustic to work as part of a duo for occasional gigs, say 2 to 3 a month (pubs or similar mostly with occasional weekday gigs ) with Violinist/ keyboard player/ guitarist multi-instrumentalist 20 years solid gigging experience. Also published songwriter and composer.
Music would be a mixture of originals and covers ranging across world music to folk and more.
An ability to improvise would be useful.
Some ability to work from lead sheets would be helpful but not essential.

A couple of examples in performance.

Original song “Just another Someone”

I hope for those of you that are in need something turns up.

I have seen some very sad posts on Facebook recently. A lot of people seem to be going through a very bad time, many with mental health issues. I have always hated this time of year. Last year I would have phoned Vicky and we would have moaned about life in general but usually felt better after doing so. Vicky helped me a lot by seeing things in a more hopeful light. There was always after having a chat the notion that things would work out and something would turn up and usually often just in the nick of time it did.

I hope for those of you that are in need something turns up.
