An opportunity exists as several former members of Retrogrand covers band have reunited along with some new folks, and the band is looking for a Drummer.The band line up is currently Keys Bass Two Guitars and Two Singers with others singing and adding harmonies.
We are experienced musicians and normal, easy to get along with folks, working on current and new material. This may suit an older mature person as most of the age group are 55 plus, though all comers considered.

View our video at -Retrogrand - YouTube.

Some of us are based in Torbay and we have a rehearsal place in an industrial area of East Auckland.
