Bill Mann has many years experience performing in all sorts of situations ranging from playing jazz on the deck of a sailing ship, informal lounge work, private parties, clubs, local and national theatre (musicals & pantomimes) on and off stage, through to formal concerts.
If you happen to be searching for a competent musician to act as a freelance Guitarist (or Bassist) for live or recording work, then please get in touch. Consideration will be given to any project, large or small.
Projects may include Theatre productions. Bill has ample experience of pit orchestras and has worked with visiting national touring companies at HMT.
Commissions considered for compositions for various purposes (advertisements etc). Costs would of course be entirely dependent on the scale of the project. Commissions for original compositions would yield printed scores/parts and computer generated sound files (CD or midi format) for demonstration. You would have the opportunity to request an agreed number of editions & adjustments to your satisfaction - No rush jobs!
DO YOU REQUIRE A BAND OR SMALL GROUP? Are you looking for quality live music for your venue, music club, special occasion, reception or private party? Classical, Blues, Jazz, French Musette, Latin, American songbook, Spanish...
