I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am an IT "professional", bass player and wannabe copywriter. I'm cracking on a bit, but I like to try to stay current. At least I now have a proper job so have to balance the good things in life with earning the means to pay for them.My band is called Skychaser. We are a 5 piece with bass, drums, 2 guitars and keyboards. We feature both male & female vocals and play rock/soft punk covers (Undertones, Buzzcocks, Bryan Adams, Stones, Free, Blondie) and loads of other stuff too.We are available for pubs gigs and functions anywhere in Leicestershire and south Notts. Contact me for details!Find us on www.skychaserrocks.com
