We’re a group of friends who love what we do. We keep things fun, don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we always bring a professional show.
We want someone who fits on and off stage – just as much about vibe and chemistry as it is about skills.
You’ll need:
✔ Commitment & experience
✔ Your own gear
✔ Reliable transport
✔ A great attitude and sense of humour
🎶 Auditions will be held in Faversham or Canterbury in the coming weeks.
That's right, we're looking for someone to join our team. We're especially interested in hearing from anyone who worked for GAK or PMT in the past and is now looking to continue their career in musical instrument retail, specifically guitar and bass.
Ideally you'll have some experience in setup and maintenance of guitars as well as relevant retail experience. You must be a competent guitar and/or bass player and have a good knowledge of guitar and guitar-related products generally.
There is potential for flexible working hours so this may suit someone looking for a full or part-time position.
