The newly formed house band for Rockies' Canadian Sports Bar (down by the Odyssey) is seeking a 3rd member to fill out the lineup and amp; complement rhythm guitar/vocals and amp; a mandolin/bass player.
We are open-minded but envisage a banjo player, fiddler or accordion player to complete the outfit.
The house band will occupy Rockies' Red Rage stage and amp; will be there to warm-up the pre-game ice hockey crowd for Giants games as well as entertain the crowd post-game.
Banter w/ the crowd will be an essential part of this regular gig.
Though the new season doesn't start until September, this opportunity will encompass playing for those taking part in the 'Word Police and amp; Fireman Games' at the Odyssey in early August.
There is also the scope to have a regular Friday night slot at Rockies and amp; bring a new crowd down to the venue which is currently in the process of getting furnished w/ pro gear to facilitate a great sound for artist and amp; patron alike.
The band will remain an acoustic outfit playing covers of well-known classics and amp; contemporary music.
Influences include: CCR, Mumford and amp; Sons, Johnny Cash, REM, Beatles, Stones etc...basically crowd-pleasers! Canadian content is bonus but not essential.
It's all about what YOU can bring to the table and amp; is the chance to be a part of a house band and amp; be a permanent fixture, playing on a regular basis w/ a ready-made audience to cater to and amp; the chance to build-up a new Friday night music on the Belfast social agenda !
