If he sings while reading the lyrics from his mobile phone, best drop him.

If he starts a song at the wrong speed and in the wrong style, and says "Oh, I was doing the Beyonce version", best drop him.

If he sings into the wrong end of a mic boom stand, best drop him.

If he starts searching the mixer for the Autotune function, best drop him.

If he has a persistent sniff, slightly glazed eyes, and strangely jerky movements, best drop him.

 

Sadly, he's probably the best singer you've ever heard - but it's still best to drop him.

We auditioned candidate no. 2 last evening.

He turned up on time.

He had prepared the songs we'd asked him to learn.

He's a decent singer and a good harmonica player. Funnily enough he seemed to enjoy letting loose on a song we'd given him that he hadn't heard before.

He's a personable guy.

We've invited him back.

This looks promising.

Showing up on time and learning the songs is the benchmark for me. Being able to get along with everyone would be the other part of that trilogy. Next up, look the part and buy the occasional drink. The finesse part is the helping pack away bit. Anything else is either a bonus or a miracle!

Received a message yesterday to say he's changed his mind and doesn't want to play covers.

OK. No probs. Thanks for letting us know early on. All the best etc etc. 

Back to the search.
