hi there we are a little dispondent at the moment about the lack of singer/vocalist out there who wish to front a classic rock band with original tracks written and being written /recorded.the band has a great deal off gig experiances and has had to turn down over a dozen gigs that were prebooked,and have turned down at least a dozen new gigs offered since the position became available in june this year.we have got evrthing here ready to give anyone a shot who thinks there up to the task,please give us a shout on here ,we will sort out a jam with you and see where we go from there ,there have been a few people came down but as we say we are not a covers band only do like to play our own music which has been very well accepted by venues and the music industry todate,we do need to get back on the road as soon as possible hope to hear from someone male or female who wish to give it a go cheers helvelyn2

That's a bloody shame as i have seen you twice and you rock! I think the fact that your old singer made it a hard act to follow doesn't help your cause but best of luck and keep the faith & don't compromise for the sake of getting a lesser singer, there will be someone out there but you need to spread the net a bit further.

We have the same problem. There are shed loads of female singers out there, but very few males. We have some good looking people to audition now, but it has taken ages.

Try ads in:
Party Sounds
Virtual Manchester, (Musicians Wanted)
Findamusician
Soundshed
Joinmyband

And the best is probably Gumtree.
We have an ad for a Singer in all of the above and Gumtree is getting more replies than all the others put together.Good Luck,

When Dave said he was leaving us (which he hasn't) I came up with a cunning plan which got us quite a few replies.

As well as placing a Singer Wanted ad on PartySounds and Joinmyband.com I trawled back through 12 months worth of singer available ads. There are singers out there who placed ads and didn't find a band or didn't settle who may still be available.

Also look through the replies to old Singer Wanted ads. These websites forward your messages to the person's private email address. That way you can contact people who aren't necessarily looking but may still be interested.

Hi guys, sorry to hear you still haven't replaced your singer, due to this i have had to cancel your gig here on 26th sept, I will leave the other gig booked in (28th nov), as hopefully you will have sorted things by then.
goodluck
