Looking for just for fun band/musicians SE London

Axe_meister · December 2013

Just looking to get together with a few like minded peeps for just a bit of fun.
Have a job+kids so not looking for anything serious.
Play guitar (blues/rock) fairly well and have good gear and transport.
Can groan a backing vocal if need be.

Handsome_Chris · December 2013

I'm up for it.

Handsome_Chris · December 2013

Ooo sorry. London maybe a bit of a trek for me from Salisbury.

AxeWieldingBastard · February 2014

Hi,

Im in North London, just a guitarist- no band. But I'm pretty much up for anything. If you wanted to get together on a weekend for jam or some such?

I don't drive unfortunately, but maybe we could meet somewhere inbetween?

Axe_meister · February 2014

Where abouts in North London are you?

AxeWieldingBastard · March 2014

Muswell Hill

Axe_meister · March 2014

I know the area a little.

What sort of music do you play?

Shark_Eyes · March 2014

I'm in SE London, happy to play bass if required.

AxeWieldingBastard · March 2014

Just copied this from my other thread.
Happy to blues it up with u if thats ur thing:

" Heavily influenced by the whole black music scene circa 1950's onwards and all the fruits thereof; british blues (Early Clapton, Fleetwood Mac), classic rock (Led Zepp, Free) love me some Bowie, Lou Reed and Iggy Pop, The Doors etc. Huge Van Morrison fan actually. Anything close to the root is good.I'm interested in more contemporary stuff too; grew up with grunge and 90's american rock; love Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Blind Melon, NIN.Recently been listening to Grizzly Bear, Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Alabama Shakes, Ben Howard; the list goes on."

What do u recon?

Axe_meister · March 2014

Cool. Two guitars and a bass. Can any of you sing? Know any drummers? @shark_eyes where is SE London are you? I'm in Forest Hill.

Shark_Eyes · March 2014

@Axe_meister I'm in Crystal Palace / Anerley area.

I cannot sing, I can do a passable impression of David Bowie though. I know two drummers, one has 'retired' and the other is in at least two bands. I'll ask anyway.

AxeWieldingBastard · March 2014

Cant sing really, but its something im working on (trying to write my own material).
I know one drummer, but is far too busy with work most of the time.

Axe_meister · March 2014

@Shark_eyes just up the road then. I know a drummer but he's only 9 ;0).
I have a small studio in the back of my garden with a cheap electronic drum kit a couple of guitar amps and a guitar/bass rack rig.

Shark_Eyes · March 2014

@Axe_meister sounds super cool, would it be ok to use your bass rig for practices? I've got a massive 4x10 cabinet that pretty much gives me a hernia from looking at it. It's actually on sale in the classifieds currently.

Axe_meister · March 2014

Of course. It's a sansamp PSA 1 into a mesa 50/50 power amp into a 2x12.

Shark_Eyes · March 2014

Great! That sounds lovely!

bigfuzz · May 2014

3 guitars too much?

Not for Radiohead

dudu · October 2014

Is this still available?

Some Soundcloud sketches:

TinLip · October 2014

This still going? I'm also SE London Greenwich/Blackheath way with guitar, amp and wheels. Some reasonable guitar supplemented with enthusiasm and ability to make a mean cuppa.

dudu · October 2014

Hey Lip! We're neighbours (I also live in Greenwich). We should hook up!

guitargeek62 · November 2014

I'm in Lewisham, wouldn't mind starting something soon perhaps? It's been a while since I played in a group but it'll be a nice excuse to play a bit more regularly again! Just got a bass too, so I can murder the low-end if needed...

MrSwanson · November 2014

I'm in the Lewisham area too! 5 mins from blackheath. we'd probably be a group of about 5 guitar players B-)

guitargeek62 · November 2014

Haha, very true! We should at least have a mini meetup then, I can show off my Chibson to someone at long last

Axe_meister · November 2014

Sorry have not looked at this thread in a while (busy with work).

I'm in Lewisham as well (OK forest hill).

Note there is a Jam session every Sunday between 2 and 6 at the Bell near the Syndenham Sainsburies.

Rumple · January 2015

I'm a bass player living in Sydenham and would be interested in the occasional weekend jam session, just for fun though as life gets in the way of doing anything serious.

Shark_Eyes · January 2015

Hey @Axe_meister wouldn't mind heading to one of those jam sessions. Did you organise them? Might bring along another guitarist mate if that's cool.

Axe_meister · January 2015

Not organized them myself but they are on every sunday from 2pm to 6pm at the bell in Syndenham near the big Sainsburies.

TinLip · March 2015

I now have a bass.

...and many guitars

Howdy, Stranger!
