What is it with singers? I've had a real rollercoaster with bands the last couple of years. First band the singer could sing, but was always forgetting the words and ended up running off with my Mrs which killed off that project. I stole one of the guitards and set up a new band, the singer for that one was a grumpy fecker who used rehearsals as practice to learn the songs. He was sacked in a few weeks. Singer no3 now and after 3 months he still does not know all the words for the set and at a gig last Friday kept starting in the wrong place on a few songs. He is going out of the door in the next few weeks I expect. All 4 other band members manage to learn our parts and considering most of us know all the words too how hard can it be for a singer to do that?
So I'm looking for a singer, fun/pub gig classic rock covers kind of thing, male or female, must possess the following:
1. Be decent at singing
2. Be able to remember the words
3. Be able to start and finish singing at appropriate/correct times
4. Be available for rehearsals at least once per week
I think I'll start with an ad in the local music shop and go old school before I start with joinmyband.
If anyone knows any singers in the north east......
Cheers,
Rich

Jackie Pattison from Darlington. Don't know hat he's like now but I worked with him nearly 40 years ago and he was bloody amazing. Best ever version of On Broadway. He was pretty damn good at Zep as well!
