What we need:
Our exceptional male lead-vocal has had to knock it on the head due to day-job problems and we need a replacement asap. As the title might suggest, all of our songs are soul and disco. We have a great female lead, but despite our best efforts, and hormone treatment, there are just some songs she can't manage, (but her Movember has been a triumph), If you happen to be able to play an instrument, so much the better, but it's not essential, Doing BVs on the female lead's songs is. A sense of humour is a must. The position is open to anyone of any age/persuasion/preference/nationality/race/creed/belief-system/LBGT/BLT, vegans/vogons nationality - or disability. Even Welsh people are welcome. We don't do long-distance gigs, unless it's for silly money, so this need not interfere with your job.
What we don't need:
People who think they can sing because their Mum told them they can, but are sadly mistaken. We don't care about your experience, just your voice. Unavailability. We rehearse weekly, and will be gigging regularly, so if you are in other bands, that's not going to work. Lateness and lack of commitment - we have agency party work waiting (we don't often do pubs). Unwillingness to help out shifting gear. A band leader - we have one of those. Lastly, and most importantly, bell-ends, cockwombles and racists.
Some sample recordings, preferably within the genres above, are a prerequisite.
If you think you are a good match for that lot, get in touch. If this style of music is not really of interest, please don't. I don't know why, but I've had several people respond who are just not into the music.
