Hi there. My name's Jim Harbourne, and I am looking for a youthful, friendly and dedicated female vocalist, bassist and keyboardist.

I recorded an album called 'On Borrowed Time' in 2008/09, and have several hundred copies professionally printed and ready to sell. I need a band

The style is close to Pink Floyd, Jeff Buckley, Mike Oldfield, early Genesis, and a little bit like elbow.

It's going to be fairly large scale: 3 guitars, bass, keys, drums and 3 backing vocalists, and potentially percussion as well, and the album launch will be taking place in a large venue, set up through my company Borrowed Time Productions Ltd. It will most likely happen in February 2010.

Go to www.myspace.com/jimharbournemusic for some sample tracks (the On Borrowed Time tracks are down the bottom of the player, under some of my work for theatre).

The bassist must have a strong grasp of dynamics and polyphony, as some of the basslines resemble guitar lines. I am predominantly a bassist myself, so I'll find working with a bassist very straightforward.

The Keyboardist preferably would read music (not a big deal if not - would just save a lot of time) and own his/her own keyboard, as I don't have a portable one to provide.

The female vocalist would need to have a good sense of harmony, ability to sing in a group (there are about 5 vocal lines!) and have a confident stage presence.

I would teach you the lines as they are on the album initially, but hopefully we'd get to a working relationship in which you can provide a creative role as well, especially with new compositions.

If you're interested in being part of my band for the launch (and hopefully permanently), email me or ring me asap, as I need to get the ball rolling soon.

We;ll hopefully meet up, have a pint/banter, I'll give you a copy of the album and tabs/manuscript (if you require them) and go from there.

Cheers. Jim x
