Help!

We're after a dep singer for Saturday night (26th) in Cannock.

Standard pub rock covers, £50 in your pocket at the end of the night.

Anyone?

Reply here or PM....thanks all.

@ not_the_dj Our singer of two ( slightly chaotic) rehearsals is quite experienced and lives in Walsall. I could ask him.

Is this for  Playback?

Whereabouts in Cannock? I'm not a million miles away and my voice isn't total shit...

No problem, thanks anyway. Bloody typical that we (me, bass player, drummer) all play in other bands, and we've all sat in with the other ones, just can't make it work for this one!

not_the_dj

Looks like we've got someone. Thanks @iansavage @mudslide73 and @ericthewearey for your offers/suggestions. 

 The gig is on, so if you're free Saturday night head to The Trident in Burntwood/Cannock and watch Playback with a dep singer! It's going to be fun ;-)

IanSavage

Good to hear - I set up a playlist last night to see how much of the selist I could reach vocally, if you play in standard I think I'd have lasted about six songs before croaking out

mudslide73

I won't be able to attend now @not_the_dj as I've apparently committed to something I knew nothing about. Hope all goes well, those B'wood people are good folk

not_the_dj

Arse! The f***ing dep canceled this afternoon.

Family problems (might well be genuine so I won't post details). 

I hate letting venues down and I was really looking forward to playing tonight. 

Oh well. Big party gig next Saturday to look forward too, and we've got a booking for nye sorted today. 

EricTheWeary

You should have gone with plan B. Ian could have done the first six numbers and I would have been vocalist on the instrumentals.
