Would also be an added advantage if she can "sort of" sing backing vocals.

Are you Denny Laine by any chance?

For me, any issues that can't be resolved as part of a normal rehearsal start to ring alarm bells. (I'm assuming here that these are interpersonal type issues, and you're not planning a new project together).

Putting the girlfriend matter to one side, do you think that this meeting scenario is something that you would expect everyone to leave feeling 100% happy?

Two things come into my mind.
Firstly, wanting to avoid the things needing discussion he's invited her to try and scupper it.
Alternatively, partners of either sex can get jealous and suspicious. Because it's a non-musical social event maybe he wasn't allowed to come without her.

So it looks like, fortunately, I had misunderstood. Girlfriend didn't come to the band meeting. However, he had told her that we'd all meet up with her afterwards at a gig nearby. So that's good, and we had a productive meeting after all.

That said, something tells me that when making this plan with her, he may have slightly underestimated how long the meeting was going to take. When we finally strode into the venue at 11pm, her face looked like a thundercloud, and the two of them had a little private conversation in a corner for a few minutes.

S.P.
