Hello

I’m a musician looking for work in all areas of music: Recording (I have an ND in Music Technology and I’m doing a HNC in Music Production and I can handle various software packages), Live (I’ve been in a few bands and toured around, I play Keyboards, Sitar, basic Drums and a bit of Guitar and Bass….. and backing vocals...but, I can also do engineering).Situated in the Wigan/ Manchester Area but that’s not a problem as I’ll travel.

Thank you for your interest,

Lindsey
