 Bolton based folkie Craig Slater is looking for musicians in a new musical venture. Guitarist Craig, 23, is looking for a squeeze box player, a female vocalist and a fiddler. Initially this will be for music sessions and some open mics, progressing to paid gigs when the time is right.
The preferred age range is late teens to late twenties and having a disability should be no bar to getting in touch. Contact Craig in the first instance through this site and we’ll pass the message on.
