I'd draw the line at clowns. Timewasters, well...
I'll have a look at Gumtree, yes.

I did put an ad on Gumtree, and got what sounded like a spot-on one, who said "Send me some tracks, and we'll do a rehearsal room session" So I did, and he promptly never replied again, not even "No Thanks".
Sounds like one of those Timewasters..
Then again, he didn't have the session then go yeah yeah and then fail to turn up and that.
In any case, any more suggestions/ideas, I'm all ears.

Where do you rehearse Mark? Are your aims recording or gigging or what?
I am 55 and can pass for J.Marr on a good day. Might be a stretch to commit to anything out of London but I'd be interested to hear your stuff.

Ah, you'd be a shoe-in absolutely.
I'd also be interested in hearing our stuff - unfortunately our Guitarist quit without us knowing our first gig (with *this* lineup) would be our last.
We have one song recorded, it's not me singing but I don't sound that different to their orig dude: https://www.bandmix.co.uk/thesubtitles/0

Hmm, that didn't work.
OK, here: https://www.bandmix.co.uk/thesubtitles/
"Walk Away"
Ignore the other one, I refused to sing it and the band said it's OK, they hate it as well.

Still nowt.

Hereabouts most such things are handled by Craigslist, but I have had mixed results.
I want to put up a sign on our rehearsal space that says "leave your emu at the door."

We might have one!
Will report back in two weeks.
― Mark G, Thursday, 7 September 2017 13:02 (six years ago) link
two weeks! ahem...
The new guitarist was a "techie" type - into Muse, MBV and so on.
We tried him for a couple of rehearsals, we all liked him as a person but ...
Anyway, the Bass guy and the drummer quit, so that was the end of that.

Sorry to hear that, Mark =(
Maybe time to invest an RC-300 and a drum machine?
I'm down to jam, but I'm pretty sure we're not even close.
