More About Join My Band - UK Musicians Classifieds

What is Join My Band?

Hi, I'm Steve. I started Join My Band back in 2006 after struggling to find a simple, free and effective way to meet other musicians online. I just wanted something simple that actually worked, and as a result it's been great seeing how many bands and projects have come together through the site over the years.

Join My Band is now one of the busiest musicians classifieds in the UK. Thousands of guitarists, drummers, vocalists, bassists, keys players and other musicians use it every day to find bandmates, join new projects or get back into playing music. The site is still free, still easy to use and still focused entirely on helping musicians connect.

How Join My Band Works

Using the site is simple. Here's how it works:

  • Choose your region to see ads local to you
  • Browse listings or post your own ad for free
  • Mention your style, influences, experience level and availability
  • Reply to ads or start your own project

It's designed to be clear, quick and musician-friendly.
