Guitarist/musicians wanted, Bristol UK

hi

I'm a singer of both traditional and self-penned songs, both acapella and with a couple of folk bands in the past. I've had a sudden writing spurt recently, and I'm looking for a guitarist (and/or fiddler, cellist, pianist) to arrange and perform them, as well as a few of the gorgeous traditional songs I love to do.

If you're interested, or you know someone who might be, please get in touch.

Thanks
Sue

You're in Bristol? Track down the band Fastest to Canada, they might know someone. Mention the Lemonade Lady
Just a thought

This is only asked lightheartedly, Sue, but you seem to be having great difficulty finding someone to play with as this is the umpteenth time you've asked.

Have you committed some terrible deed in the past?

Try Yorkshire - lots going on

Lancslad - hmmmm, I know.... family ties, gggrrrr!!!

Nick - no, only the second time in 6 months, I think? (you probably saw all my refreshes) and then I went travelling, off and on, for a few months, so kind of gave up...

I must be looking in the wrong places! :(

And yes, probably I'm not the easiest singer to work with, because firstly, I tend to sing mainly slow melancholy songs, and a lot of musicians, particularly fiddlers, want to play fast; and secondly, I'm extremely finicky about the songs I'll sing. I'll only sing songs of my choosing, and I'm afraid many folk songs do leave me cold, if I'm honest...

Yorkshire's a tad too far for weekly practice...

Sessionlass - And your point is...?

As I said - second time in six months.

Nick - forgot to add, my first bout of advertising about a year ago got me a fiddler, and we had a great 6 months of playing and gigging, before she had to stop for family reasons.

lots going on in the areal of Brisel. But will that trnslate into a commitment to practice & gig with someone?

I presume the pages of cresby.com hve been perused.

May I suggest that you visit the Nova Scotia Folk Club on Monday evenings, the organiser Jim Tigwell may well be able to help your search, he himself is a very good bluse guitarist and knows many other musicians in the Bristol area.

Mr Red - thanks for reminding me, I'll have a browse tonight. Yes, practice and commitment are kind of essential!

Hind - another good idea, thanks.

Onwards and upwards! :)

I'm, in Edinburgh but I know of some musicians and potential recording engineers in Bristol and the south of England. They are more rocky than folk, but they might want to collaborate with you. If interested, go here,

e.mail me and I'll get back to you later in the week
