Thanks for all the responses, guys - it’s always good to hear what you think!
Of course my original post was very negative - there is much this guy brings to the stage, including image and virtuosic harmonica, so we would likely need two people to replace him. This of course changes the dynamic - if only it were as easy as one in, one out…
There haven’t been many who think he could be rehabilitated. I’d like to hear anyone who thinks we could go down that route. (We did have a band meeting a while back to democratise choosing new material, but this seems to have been forgotten about).
