A quick update on my situation for you all.
The singer had a part share in the PA, so I'd asked him in the 'goodbye' email to let me know when was convenient to collect it and to give him his cash. He replied with a very short email saying he'd bring it to outside our rehearsal rooms the following night, which was fine.
Myself and our drummer went to meet him and we said hello from across the road in a friendly manner. He didn't say a word, opened the boot, took the money, put the PA on the pavement and left in silence. Not a single word, with a face like we'd just drowned his cat in front of him. I didn't exepct all jolly niceness, but the behaviour of an adult would have been good :(
He's since binned off all the band members as friends on Facebook and hasn't said a word to any of us. Clearly he's upset, but it's only a band isn't it? Ah well, seems like it was for the best if that's the attitude he has to things.
On a positive note ( :) ), we auditioned a female singer and she was pretty good! It would change the feel and set list of the band quite a bit with girlie rock vocals, so we need to decide if we want to change direction a bit. We have a guy auditioning the week after next too, who would slot in with very little effort, so it may be that we have a tough choice to make.
Oh, and I'm heading off to a vocal coach for my first session next week.............
