Subject: RE: Is singing now the preserve of women?
Agreed: there are maybe 6 or 7 in that list of Jenn's that I would class as "lead singer" in the band (one mainly solo or in a duo). The rest are very competent singers (and brilliant instrumentalists), but, as I said in my last post, take their turn at doing a song or 2 during a set, and provide back-up harmonies to the lead singer during other songs.

And in answer to "meself", I just think about the school choirs where my son went to school - about 2 pre-voice-break males out of 40 in the Junior Choir - definitely not cool! But the Senior Choir had plenty of male (now-broken)-voices. Why? Because they got out of some other boring lesson to go to choir practice!!
