Front Women / Front Men

She's not exactly a "front-person", but I rather like [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dorstetguidedwalks/3914449721/"]this[/url] photo which features Jacky, the lead musician in the morris side I play for, though it was taken some time before I joined.

She's a fabulous world class musician and a very very dear friend. I'm deeply honoured to play music with her.

How do you know her mate?

Cheers,

Excellent, that's lovely! I played guitar with Sheema and Martin Carthy a few months ago, it was an intimidating prospect

Does somebody want to explain why you all seem to be fronted by hot women and all I get to look at is a short, baldy bloke??

Conventional standards of attractiveness don't apply if your front person can perform and hold the audience's attention.

Before Mr Venom the best front man I worked with looked like the worst kind of thug. Squat, bald and very unattractive looking. However stick a microphone in his hand and put a decent band behind him and he was a charismatic and tuneful singer who knew exactly how to work an audience. Since then I have always reserved judgement on the front person's suitability for the job until I've seen them perform in front of an audience.

I agree.... actually I once did play in a band fronted by a very hot woman but I ended up getting sacked for being the Shrek look-a-like. So, you have to be careful

Do you mean that you would prefer to be fronted by a HOT short, baldy bloke..?
Or is it the short, baldy WOMEN that are missing in your world..?
Strange days...

We're not in Brizzle for a while unfortunatley - 9th & 10th of December are the next ones. We're in Bridport tomorrow night though if you fancy a wee drive! Kes is a total star - I've only been in this band for 2 months and I've already seen stuff that would turn you grey. We did 5 gigs in 3 days over the August bank holiday, amazingly all of us survived although Kes and I have no memory of the gig on the Sunday night.

I don't suppose you've had anything to do with Transglobal Underground, have you?

No reason for asking other than curiosity, as I understand that Sheema used to - or maybe still does - play sitar as part of that outfit.

Wow! Morris, but not as we know it.

I've found from experience that you can get away with ugly so long as you're not dull (but also you don't upstage the front person).

Silddx, are you playing for Transglobal? I was playing with Johnny and TDF for about four years so I wonder if we've probably crossed paths at some point?

You're not making me feel any better - ugly AND dull

Holla folks,

This is our lead singer Jamie, from my recently acquired cover band. Definitely an improvement on the previous bands I've been in, but don't get your hopes up too high, as she is happily shacked up with the drummer!
