Hi Amy,

Paul is an acquaintance, and I have met some of the others several times, including a memorable New Year's evening at the pub at Wherwell, having an all out "bellow"!
The point is, that far from being pretentious, they come across as quite modest, especially Benji, who I would imagine would fight shy of taking the lead vocal. Paul, although a great singer, would not fight for a place as a lead vocalist, either, or so it would seem.
I don't think I have met Rachael, so can't comment.
I too, love the band, and have all their CD's.
