Hi everyone,
The Missus and I have just retired and we will now be spending most of our time in our place in Los Carrascos.
I have been a gigging musician in the UK for more years than I care to remember, and I would love to meet similar-minded individuals to join or form a band with the intention of gigging in Spain.
About me - I am nearly 60, and I play saxophone and rhythm guitar. Vocally, I have a range of about half an octave, so BVs are not my strong point!
I have one of my tenor saxes here in Spain, I also brought out an old Telecaster and a Marshall amp, so I am kitted up and ready to go. Material-wise, I have played all kinds of stuff over the years. At present I am playing in the UK with a five-piece ska/reggae/soul/rock covers band. Here's a video https://youtu.be/9HYgfoVZMKQ
So, after all this rambling, where do I go to meet fellow musicians?
Thanks,
Jon
Welcome!!!
If I remember correctly there's a jam night at Harley's in Arboleas this Thursday which would be a good place to start. There's quite a few local musicians go to that one.
I don't go to them myself (there's only so many times a man can hear "Hey Joe" and "Cocaine" murdered in one lifetime :)) )
The best of luck with whatever you do and welcome to the joys of gigging in 35+ degree heat 8)
Gissa shout if you want a (socially distanced) chat.

Rather Hey Joe and Cocaine than Mustang Sally!

I still have nightmares about the time I was in a club band and the 'leader' absolutely insisted we play Hi Ho Silver Lining every gig.
*Shudder*
