Our lead vocalist also `let us down badly` by quitting just like that....took us over 2 months to find a suitable ( and reliable) replacement. That meant cancelling lots of booked gigs ! There does`nt seem to be many, if any good frontmen around these days.

Did he get killed and then it transpires that he was actually abducted by aliens, only to reappear a season later and it was all a dream sequence......

He quit due to the amount of fish in the upper ionisphere???

He quit due to seasickness brought on by contenental drift???

He became a woman???

He was abducted by Aliens???

He once played 7 minutes of a five a side footy game and a Man City scout approached him and they signed him up for £35,000,000???

He was taken up in The Rapture???

;-)

Best wishes and good luck with the search for a new singer

Ok....I've got it.....

Lee was hitch-hiking on the way home from a gig and got approached by MR T who was fixing his car at the time and wanted to pass him a spanner...Lee thought the legendary MR T said "pass me that fool".....(he did in fact say 'tool' ) of course Lee got upset about being referred to as a fool and went at MR T arms flailing....this of course resulted in a full on barnsley chop across the face by the old A team star....Lee could then not muster the courage to ever face a live crowd again.......hence handing in his notice in such a swift manner.....

I did offer my services for the 4th but didn't hear anything back from you, nice. Hope you find someone soon

He only joined for the final hour! Come on now you've had your money's worth

Good luck with that. There's a about five really good bands on here looking for singers. I try to point any singers on here in the right direction if I can.

Christ! All these bands after a Rock singer - with any luck they'll lower their expectations so much so that I'll get a look in! As it stands there's no call for a voice that's a mixture of Ken Dodd and Phyllis Pearce!

Yeah, he'd be great with his metal Diddymen.

Here is a review from a little while ago, the end of which may explain why Lee left!

Lambstock and The Final Hour


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me and Tracy went to the Bitter Suite in Preston to see a loads of acoustic and electric bands Friday and Saturday in an event called Lambstock, very good it was too. A charity event with both upstairs and down stairs stages being used and the people who ran the event ( all for charity) ran their little socks off. It ran smoothly and from what I saw of it, it was very successful. Some quality acts on the bill for both of our visits.
Later on Saturday we decided to move down the road to catch the 2ND half of Final Hour in the Old Black Bull ..
A great spot from the lads, a reminder of my heavy metal days when I was younger . Excellent sound .. the lads kept the volume down on stage and let the PA do a lot of the work it sounded ace. Drums were especially nice in the mix. Killing in the name of sounded really good , the singer really nailed that one.
How the lads kept a straight face when the errrr,,,, imaginative dacing (?) was preformed in front of them I dont know,LOL,
The dancer was of the from the interpretation through dance method school of dancing, self taught ? who knows? I dont want to Pee on anyone's parade and delve into another mans art medium that Im not really cued up on. Im not quite sure what message he was trying to convey but I think his piece may have been called " The sinking of the Bismark. The spectacular backwards roll we can only speculate was the dramatisation of a metal beast thrashing in agony in its final death throes as it finally succumbed to the stillness of its watery grave.... I was moved. was he a pissed nutter? was he actually a gifted performer, perhaps we'll never know,maybe its best we never know, life is full of mystery. All I know is he had his moment in the sun, (well a LED strobe effect) I left the venue enriched by both band and their cheery dancing chum.
If Carlsberg did dancing punters to come and entertain us at gigs I dont think they could find a finer model. Well done that man!
Nice gig lads , will see you soon Im sure.

and now the answer,

Lee has ran of with the dancer from the black Bull and is setting up a dance school of modern dance and interruption.

Am I close?

this guy might fit the bill-comes highly recommended by steve penck? ;-D
