Silly question perhaps but...

Presumably somwehere in the world there is an example of what it is that you want to do. Whether done by you or by others.

I've been for a few auditions for rock bands over the last year and I tend to just send some examples of stuff along and we go from there. People know what I do and how I play and go from there. The problem usually starts when I'm 30-40 years too old in body (rather than spirit or ability).

You don't have the same barriers in folk/song/acoustic music as age is much less a problem.

From your various posts over time I still wouldn't have the slightest clue of what you sound like or what it is you want to do and that would make it hard to respond even if I was local.

An ad that says 'Bloke who sings wants band' probably is not a huge pull.

I send people stuff like Examples - I think that one is a real mix - and they have some idea.
