Don't use android but is this not what you want?

Why would the MD listen to a tech bigging up his mate that plays bass?

1. Can you read music?
2. Are you confident you can do it?
3. Don't be bigged up by the tech, contact the md yourself.

I'm guessing, from your defending them 3 times now, that you have either already had, or hope to, have work with "the guys" backing band?

I'm not defending them for personal gain. Just that people are far to quick to slander others just because they're commercial or not playing the the local week in week out.

Well, they don't have songwriting credits on any of their output, which is a pretty big clue...

Erm, yes they do....

Disgusting. PRS's reason d'etre is apparently to represent "songwriters, composers, and music publishers", and yet for a bit of cheap publicity they laud four chancers who've never had any involvement with the first two in their professional lives, and are simply making money for the latter.

And you have this info on good authority?

How an earth are you meant know what the cutting sheet was in the studio & how much involvement the guys had on songs if you were not there?

How are we defining band here? Admittedly this probably shows my ignorance, but from what I've seen JLS themselves are basically a few glorified karaoke singers working to a backing track(or if an actual backing band of instrumentalists is involved, they're very well hidden indeed...)

For tv work, what's the point in them paying for a band to mime behind them, that money is just a waste and people would just complain that the band were miming.

Their proper live shows do have a live band though. They're not hidden but they're not in the limelight either, why should they be? People aren't paying to watch what the band behind them, they've paid for tickets to watch JLS.

I saw them when I was at the mobos last year and they were great live, Josephross was on guitar & MD last time I checked, with Ginger Hamilton on drums who is a monster player. Can't remember who else was playing though. ,

Do they deserve this 'award', I don't really care, it doesn't exactly affect anyone in any way what so ever.

Elijah is a great guy & player too.

Don't be put off by him being a new member
