A new drummer is being sought by Belvoir Big Band, which performs concerts throughout the area raising money for local causes.
The band, which is based in Harby, has 27 musicians and three singers, has established a strong reputation since being formed in 2015.
It has performed at countless charitable and fundraising events, including at St Mary’s Church in Melton and the Melton Theatre, where it will be appearing again later this year.
The band has also played at charity events in the Market Place and in the Royal British Legion club in the town.
Their music and musical genres vary from swing and big band standards to film music, pop and rock n roll.
The band’s current drummer is leaving and a replacement is sought who is reliable, competent and committed to the band and its ideals.
Band founder, Jon Jayes, said: “We are looking for a competent, reliable and flexible drummer who will fit in with the band’s playing style and will be available for weekly rehearsals and for public performances.
"All applications will be given serious consideration and the band can be contacted through our web site contact page.
"We look forward to hearing from anyone who is interested.”
The band is made up of members of a broad age range and both sexes and they travel from far and wide to play in the friendly group of musicians and singers.
Rehearsals are every Tuesday evening in Harby Village Hall.
