Cerys had to mediate. It went something like:

'I'm sorry about the remark my bassist made.'

'Is he the one that's dead?'

Plus you have to be a better singer than Nicky, as I assume you are human and not Cher Lloyd?
That is a superb idea actually! Why did I not think of it myself?


Went for Ritzy in the end, being as she is also Welsh and everything!

I know. It would be good for The Manics too, as not only would you not object to singing Autumnsong, you'd probably actively encourage it!

I would. And Glasnost would get an airing as well!

Ah I'd be happy with that! It's one of the few tracks I really like on Lifeblood

I misread the poll option as "JON GAUNT" and I've got to admit, I can't see any other person singing back up than him now.

Robbie Williams, all the stuff after The Holy Bible would suit him, he could also show the Wire how to write a decent lyric

I've heard its going to be Tom Araya from Slayer.


...oh wait that was a dream.


Realistically though, they could convince Mick Hucknall to leave The Faces for a bit

I think it would be a mistake to add a new vocalist.

Unless of course it's ME!!!!

I might try and ask for the job next week if I get a chance to speak to them at the STV Studio...that would be a fun conversation
