RocknRoll Band Looking For Lead Vocalist M/F
Hi, we’re an established,mature 50’s/60’s rock n roll/rockabilly band seeking a new lead singer. M/F.
Must be experienced & know/ like this sort of music.
The band has been going about 3 to 4 years now playing mostly social clubs/occasional nice pubs in and around Essex,about one gig a month give or take. 12 to 15 a year.
Based around the Colchester area, usually practicing at Unit One or Black Cactus in Colchester area. Can be altered though due to singer’s location.
Daytime/eves/possible weekend practice. Whenever’s best.
We have started taking bookings for this year, but plan to take time out & re-boot before that with the lead vox. M/F.
We’ve got about 35 to 40 songs on the go including stuff like..
Move It-Cliff & the Shadows
Pretty Woman-Roy Orbison
Love Potion No 9-our version!
Nadine-Chuck B
Shaking All Over-Johnny Kidd
Little Sister-Elvis
Hippy Hippy Shake-SBJ’s
Burning Love-Elvis
Do You Want To Dance-Cliff
Summertime Blues-Brian Setzer
What’d I Say-Ray Charles
You Never Can Tell/
Johnny B Goode/Roll Over Beethoven-Chuck B.
Etc
We don’t play in a vintage 50’s style but more with a rocked up bluesrock flavour with a bit of bite,which includes songs like..
Route 66-Dr. Feelgood
Going Back Home-Wilco & Daltrey
I Can Tell-John Kidd/Feelgood.
We also play songs such as…
Brand New Cadillac-Vince Taylor/Clash mashup

Rock This Town-Stray Cats
Matchbox-Carl Perkins
Shake Your Hips-Black Cat Trio
Marie Marie-The Lincolns

Etc,etc..
With the exception of one or two, most are played in their original keys.
If you’ve never heard of Carl Perkins, don’t know Jeanie Jeanie Jeanie or think Love Potion No 9 is a drink, this probably isn’t for you. 😉
..but if you know this music and want to get people tapping, moving, dancing! 💃 🕺 get in touch!!
Must have own PA (or prepared to get one) transport/be able to drive.
Any questions fire away…just no daft ones. 🤪
Thanks for reading!
