Hello, if you have been sent this link it is because I have approached you about any work vacancies you may have for me at this time or in the near future.
I am looking for work that will compliment and enhance my playing, exposure and help to set me up in my new city. My freelance experience is probably more suitable to explain what I could help you achieve in your business, rather than a formal CV.
Having recently moved to London I have under my belt just under 20 years experience playing and performing behind the drum kit. I have minimal session experience, but have a great ear/feel combination, am proficient in many styles, and would love to be considered for audition on any drum tracks you need. I have a basic grounding in recording set-up, and am extremely willing to learn. I’m fit and relatively strong and am used to lumping heavy stuff around. I have a clear and sensible telephone manner, good sense of humour, and am a good judge of character.
As a DJ I am a vinyl specialist with a versatile collection, and I have experience of Traktor, Sorato and Ableton Live. I have been part of the most popular and longest-running monthly Saturday club night at Mr Wolfs, Bristol – PICK UP THE PIECES, under the name The Blengineer. This night also happened regularly at the Big Chill Bar, as well as another night our collective put on – GERT DOWN. The following link presents my ‘Big Hig Mix’, which got me through to the DJ final in the Big Chill Festival competition, summer 2011, in which my band also competed.

Along with the above I also bring with me a useful musical contact list.
My other freelance work entails copywriting, editing and social media projects. This may be unrelated, but perhaps presents another way in which my skills could be of use while working for you; simply updating promotions/events you are involved with, for instance. My client list can be viewed from my COPYRIDER website.
I am qualified to degree level in English and Creative Writing.
If you have any openings that could make use of me in any of the above fields, I’d love to hear from you. I will consider partial payment in practice time/space on your premises, and can leave my Mapex kit to be used there if appropriate.
Many thanks for reading. I look forward to hearing from you.
Dylan
