Musicians Blog

Our musician blog is really taking off now, we are only a month old and already the feedback has been really positive. So I guess it means a big “happy 1 month birthday” to us! We have loads of plans the the future and there’s loads of really interesting posts that will be coming your way.  There will also be some announcements made shortly about some new members of our team who will be joining our quest to improve the musical lives of the whole UK. The sort of things that we will engage in will be drummers, guitarists, singers and musicians who specialise in jazz, blues, rock, pop and soul music.

Don’t forget to check back for the latest updates and news from our team and be sure to contact us (using our quick contact form) if you have any suggestions or if you would like to join our growing community. We are still a bit unsure about the situation regarding our latest topics but we will definitely keep you posted and up-to-date on all potential changes and improvements which may, or may not, occur over the coming weeks and months of this year.

New Articles from us:

If you are looking for a drummer for a new or existing band then we might just be able to help. Have a look at our musicians forum where you can post an ad for any type of musician that you might be looking for. There`s no need to sign up and you can email anyone directly from the forum. You could also visit this drummer available page, which features some great musicians for hire in the London area. They are more like session musicians on there but that could be useful for some people as well. If you are not looking for a session guy (or girl) then we definitely recommend visiting the drummers page below, where you find some more details and some links to drummers ads in our forum and elsewhere on the site.

Other news from us

We have launched quite a few new features on the site recently. You can get to most of them by click the “related pages” links on the right of this page. Let us know if you can think of anything else that we can add or you would especially like to see on here. For some reason drummers are very popular at the moment so head over to the musicians forum and start posting if you play the drums.

As is often the case, the bass player is always the most difficult member of a new band to find. Three lead guitarists and no bassist is the usual situation! Well, we are here to help. Head over to our musicians forum and post an ad for a bass player and you are sure to find the ideal new band member. There are loads of new members and guests browsing all the time. We also have a dedicated Bass Guitarist Wanted page which features loads of hints and tips on how to find a bass player wanted for your band.

1 – Jaco Pastorius
2 – Flea (Red Hot Chilli Peppers)
3 – Paul McCartney
4 – James Jamerson
5 – Victor Wooten

Our musicians forum seems to lack any string players at the moment so if you play violin, viola, cello or double bass then please consider posting. You can post for free withot signing up for anything here – Musicians Forum. This forum is quite new but already we have over 160 active members and that number is growing every day. By posting a wanted ad in there other musicians and our members will read them and hopefully respond in some sort of positive way.

As well as the musicians forum, we also recommend any string players to sign up for the entertainment directory. You can do this by clicking on the banner below. Again, signing is free for a basic listing. This site gets over 18,000 unique visitors every month so is you want to get extra gigs then you should definitely consider signing yourself up. You can also search the directory to see the kind of musicians who already have a listing on there.

As well as violinists, cellists and double bass players, we are also looking for guitarists, mandolin players and sitar players. Basically, any stringed instrument, whether it be bowed or plucked, we are looking for you. Create a free profile by clicking the banner above.

Welcome to our new Musicians Blog. The plan for this site is to promote our musicians forum and try to connect more people to form new bands and create new musical possibilities. We feel that this new musicians blog will help us to reach more people from across all regions of the UK. Alongside this, we will be publishing lots of articles and stories from the lives of professional musicians on here over the coming weeks and months. If this is your first visit here, have a look at the “related pages” links on the right (at the top), there will be something there that you will find of interest.

Whilst many musicians still form bands in the traditional way, meeting people through friends and at gigs, a new generation of young musicians are connecting through the internet. We would like to help those who want to do just that. Click the banner below to get started and form a new band today!
