Hello - I have the urge to start up a band, or possibly just a gigging duo. As my name implies I am a female vocalist. I have a good deal of experience in performing of all kinds and have been doing classical for years now, although I started as a folk singer and then went on to being part of a country/pop/rock band.

My repertoire is very varied and I have a stack of music. I'm happy to sing anything with appeal but probably from the rock/swing/jazz or pop genres with an aim to doing private events, dances or pub/club gigs. Anything really, I'm very influenced by Katie Melua, Coldplay, Alison Krauss, Joni Mitchell, but the list of songs I want to sing is so long that I couldn't even begin to name favourites.

Are there any keyboard players, guitarist or drummers out there willing to have a go or who might know someone who might like to. I live in Reigate in Surrey. I have my own Mackie PA system so getting going is not a problem.

Here's hoping.
