We are looking for a creative, versatile and accomplished Keyboards player, able to play in a variety of styles and integrate very quickly into a very successful 8 piece line-up. (Ten albums released Worldwide)

You will be experienced in live work, as well as recording, have a good sense of humour, your own transport, equipment and a desire to continuously improve what you (we) do.

You will have a natural pianistic style, as there are many open passages where the piano is exposed and required to accompany the lead vocals. Contrasting with that are large passages
requiring tasteful orchestral beds, organ and piano solos as well as the more traditional “synth” solo.

Sensitivity and timing are key and a natural musical awareness of what is required.

The band produces an eclectic mix of music which broadly falls within the “progressive” genre, but in reality spans many different musical forms from beautiful ballads and folk-tinged songs through to awesome all-out rock workouts and true progressive epics – no two songs sound the same!

The band is currently experiencing a surge of interest and support, with nominations for Album of the Year by the Classic Rock Society (CRS) and a series of storming headline gigs in support of the latest and critically acclaimed new album.

Highlights of the band’s tenth anniversary year have been a very successful appearance at the 2009 Cambridge Rock Festival and now the planned recording of a live album later in the year.

2010 will see the band making an appearance at a prestigious USA festival

A new studio album is also being written which we would like you to get creative with...

The nature of the band is semi-professional – everyone has a day job. However, the ambition and approach is completely professional. These are not positions for anyone wanting to earn money – the band is wholly dedicated to bringing the recordings to life and seeing where that takes us. If this sounds interesting to you – let us know.

Applicants must have a current Passport (US/ Euro dates in 2010) and be available to rehearse Tuesday evenings in Leeds
