For the past year I have been playing music voluntarily in a shelter for homeless alcoholics on James’s Street called Sundial House. I go in there once a week and play the residents cover versions of old hits, mainly from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. I have to say it is great fun and very rewarding!
Now what I would like to do is put a small band together to add to what I already do. I’m not expecting a weekly commitment from people (although that would be amazing) but if we could come to an arrangement whereby we had a band session at once a month at Sundial House that would be great.
Initially what I am looking for is a basic set up of:
• A drummer (we’d have to play acoustic so no need for full kit, just basic set up with brushes)
• Bassist
• Lead Guitarist
However any instrumentalists are welcome to join, just drop me a line and we can try and figure something out.
The list of songs grows every week as residents make new requests but the artists I am currently covering are as follows: The Beatles, Bill Withers, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Boney M, Christie Moore, The Commodores, The Dubliners, The Eagles, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, John Lennon, Johnny Cash, Neil Sedaka, Paul Anka, Paul McCartney, The Pogues, Rod Stewart, Roy Orbison… the list goes on.
If you are interested in getting involved with this or you know someone who might be, please drop me a private message.
Thanks, Ed.
