A PROFFESSIONAL musician who made a come-back after being struck down with a paralysing disease is now looking for a violinist to join his band.

Phil Graham, of Bishop Auckland spent ten months in James Cook University Hospital from October, 2013 to August, 2014 paralysed with Guillain Barre Syndrome.

Thinking he might never be well enough to perform again, he overcame his disability and made a successful comeback with four shows in March earlier this year.

Now, as lead singer with Folk Rock foursome, Share The Darkness, he is seeking a fiddle player to join his band.

“We have a series of shows booked for next year and we are looking for a violinist or fiddle player to join us. This is an exciting opportunity for someone to join our friendly group when rehearsals start in the autumn.”

The band meet weekly in Bishop Auckland and are asking interested players to meet initially for a no obligation chat.

He added: “Gender and age is not important. We are looking for someone who can commit to rehearsals once a week and who has a fun loving attitude to music.”

Mr Graham can be contacted on 01388 602479 or by email at phil@filmar.co.uk
