Anyone fancy a laugh in the south Wales/west area?

Haych · December 2023

Right then folks.

I haven't seriously played in a while, my last proper gig was almost a whole teenage child ago. Maybe I'm having a mid-life crisis, maybe I would just like something to do once a week/fortnight other than sitting in front of the telly, or maybe I just want a reason to escape from the wife one in a while.

So, as you might gather from the title, I live in south Wales, south east Wales to be more exact. That means I have decent links to Newport and in the other direction to the North Somerset/South Gloucestershire area.

Are there any other musicians in any of these areas who might like someone of equally mediocre playing ability to jam/join/form band with, even if just for a laugh?

I have my own transport and some decent-ish gear - it all worked last time I used it, promise. I know at least three chords and can probably play little bits of a lot of songs, but know very few all the way through but that's probably only because I'm used to being interrupted every time I sit down to learn anything new. I don't know any Oasis songs, though, in case that's a deal breaker.

My taste in music is firmly in the dad-rock genre, maybe even leaning towards grandad-rock these days.

Happy to play second fiddle to more talented banjoists out there.

If a bass player is needed I might be able to convince my sister to come out of retirement - she's not that bad and can learn most things so long as she can source the pictures with the little dots on them.
