DREAM JOB! - Keyboard Players Step Up
They say all good things must come to an end, but for every door that closes, there's normally an open window. And that's how Gary managed to escape!
After many years of providing outstanding keyboard playing, solid backing vocals, and excellent material (such as It's A Shame, Indigoes, and Passing Through) Gary has decided to focus on his many other projects and open the door to Anteloup for another budding keys player.
Gary joined us back in 2016 and quickly became a firm fixture in the band. His smooth, bluesy style mixes with a dash of jazz and (sometimes) prog-rock to give a wonderfully unique sound that lends itself to so many of our songs. His sharp wit and charming personality comes across in his playing and we all generally stop and listen when he goes off on one of his improvised solos in the practice room. It's been a real privilege gigging with Gary, and the whole band feels so much more fulfilled for having had the opportunity to play with such a warm, lovable gentleman.
But it's not all big dollops of sadness. Firstly, Gary will still have some input to the band. He's a keen songwriter and wants Anteloup to realise his creations. He's also hinted at 'helping us out' on occasion - whatever that means... We just hope it's something musical!
Secondly - this means we need a new Keyboardist. So, if you've got a bit of keyboard experience and fancy joining Anteloup, get in touch via email - info@anteloup.co.uk - and have a chat with us. We're more interested in what you can bring to the band as an individual, as opposed to being able to emulate Gary's approach, so don't feel intimidated. If you can sing - all the better! So get in touch!!
