Musicians wanted for instrumental western swing-ish ensemble

Hello.

I'm trying to put together an instrumental Western Swing-ish ensemble.
The aim would be to get enough material together for 2 x 45mins set.

Based in Bristol. Currently rehearsing as a duo (Telecaster, and Acoustic Guitar), and hoping to find at least Pedal/LapSteel, and Bass; possibly drums and additional guitar.

Material so far includes music by Jimmy Bryant & Speedy West, Jimmy Rivers, Les Paul, Jim Campilongo (and Honeyfingers), with more on our 'to learn' list.

To give a rough idea of what we're up to there are some rehearsal videos here -

A Smooth One Charlie Christian la Jimmie Rivers - https://youtu.be/yQ3CYHubC5Q

How High the Moon Nancy Hamilton & Morgan Lewis, la Les Paul and Mary Ford - https://youtu.be/xSXuPB2sNLw

Freaky Dreiky Jim Campilongo - https://youtu.be/U-zt4FVRrBU

This is not music we've grown up playing. This ensemble is a means of exploring and enjoying some of the vocabulary of this music. Ideally you'll be a player in the same boat, or a player with more knowledge of this music, willing to let us benefit from your experience!

Any interest, feedback, or suggestions, would love to hear from you.

Cheers,

George
