Nice to see the singers (Hayley in particular) get some appreciation at last, would really like to see then get their own spot on a Sunday night show - wishful thinking I know.

They get grief on here sometimes, I always think they are great at being able to adapt to every style thrown at them.

I'm really growing to like Hayley's voice, I think she did quite a bit of singing this week

I understand Hayley often makes an appearance at Ronnie Scotts, I'd love to be able to go along and see and hear her one day

Ditto. If you hear of anything could you let me know?

Well there are 4 singers, don't think they normally sing together apart from strictly. The only one I know by name is Hayley Sanderson, on the left of the band as you look at them.
She has an entry in myspace here

A positive thread for once.

I love it when someone is unexpectedly complimented - just like when Brendan spent some of his back time on-air time to compliment Jodie and Ian's dance.

Without trying to be funny - that IS their job. They are basically acting as session musicians, and a decent session musician should be able to do that.

I don't know which are which, who is who, but certainly there are a couple of good voices. Sometimes they get unfair stick, but to be honest, sometimes it has been because they have not done a good job with particular songs.

If you go onto beebs forum and choose 'about the show' you see a bit about them. I know Tommy Blaize has sang with Basement Jaxx on Crazy Itch radio album, his lead vocal was 'On the train' , which I love
I have to say these past few weeks they have upped their game and been a pleasure to listen to.

The band are absolutely amazing. They get each style spot-on. They are one of the great things about the show. Which is why it is such a nonsense when big names come on a mime. I don't know how they have the bottle to do that in front of real musicians.
