ABOUT
I'm currently playing with other people, but it's always nice to find new people to create music with. Give me a shout if you are looking for a bassist.
I'm a mature bassist, playing multiple styles, no stress and no drama please. I'm not flashy, but I hold down the bottom end. I don't play for fame, applause or money (although that's always appreciated), I've always played for the joy of the music. mcollis AT ontherun DOT ca
Also, I'm still looking for people to play with. Drop me a line.
