Looking For
Driven Serious need a highly skilled fiddler, who can improvise and contribute to arrangements. Needed to start getting ready for July 2019, as soon as possible, as that's when the present fiddler is leaving. We really need you to be able to 'chop' or 'chock'.
We have an album and an EP and working on a new album. We have 15 dates booked between now and July 2019, including 5 festivals booked for next summer.
We occasionally do pub gigs for £250 to £350 with festivals for about £400, but this isn't about the money at this stage. This is about you being a permanent part of a band that has developed a following and critical acclaim over 7 years.
The above picture is of the current line-up.
Please listen to our music by searching on Spotify or youtube. We are the only band with this name so you'll find us in no time all over social media.
Here is a description of us from the Crack:
"I suppose you could file Driven Serious under the banner of folk-rock; but they are so much than that. They have a vibrancy that you can virtually see thrumming off them when they play, passionate and with the handbrake well and truly off, and with a vibe that has had people likening them to The Levellers to The Pogues to The Smiths to The Wonderstuff..."
We practice as often as possible on Thursday evenings, with at least two gigs a month on weekends, with summer being busier at festivals.
