Welcome bassist Andy Webb from Plymouth in Devon

Welcome to bass guitarist Andy Webb from Plymouth in Devon. That's his bass!

Andy is a hobbyist, but is looking for a songwriting partner, and either a heavy rock or a folk band. He has previously played in original heavy rock and metal bands, but now he particularly likes the idea of an AC/DC tribute band - and why not?! He even likes the idea of going on the road.

Andy has also been doing some home recording and would like to develop this interest. So if Andy sounds like someone you'd like to work with, get in touch with him through ROCK-TIL-YOU-DROP.
